I'm not sure if this answers your question, but are you talking about a system [like this one](http://www.articlesbase.com/fiction-articles/how-to-use-index-cards-to-write-a-novel-outline-517073.html#axzz1QbTgcFor)? I also found [this resource](http://pbackwriter.blogspot.com/2007/09/novel-outlining-101.html) about outlining a Novel that I think would be good to use. They are two resources I looked at in the past when I wanted to know how best to outline a novel. I understand your question, because, while Standback is correct in saying that every person is different and every bit of importance in the book is different, there are good and bad methods to writing a story, and learning about those good and bad methods might help you find one that works best to you.
