Writers, how does your outline look like?

I write novels, poetry, and short stories and I’m more of a pantser than a plotter. But I’ve realized that having outlines helps me to execute the story better. To writers here, how does your outline look like and what app/platform do you use for making your outlines?

I really only wrote song lyrics, wasn't very good at it but I would like to pick it back up again someday.

My outlines looked like the song structure (verse, chorus, bridge, etc.) with the title at the top and a list of questions that the title evoked.

The lyrics would just be rhyming answers to those questions.

I didn't come up with that scheme myself, it was taught to me.
