English term or phrase: rolling wave planning
Definition from PMcrunch:
Rolling wave planning is the process of planning for a project in waves as the project becomes clearer and unfolds. It is important in such projects to at least highlight in the initial plan the key milestones for the project. Rolling Wave Planning acknowledges the fact that we can see more clearly what is in close proximity, but looking further ahead our vision becomes less clear. Rolling Wave Planning is a multi-step, intermittent process - like waves - because we cannot provide the details very far out in our planning.

Example sentence(s):
  • The idea behind rolling wave planning is that you can’t know everything about the project in advance, so don’t bother trying to plan a lot in detail. Johanna Rothman
  • This is a variation of Rolling Wave planning in that we don't necessarily keep the "wave" the same size at all times, and we don't make detailed work plans for the items in the wave. Los Techies
  • The real loss here is that we tend to stop looking for something once we believe we've found it. What has been frequently adopted lately that has been called Kanban appears to be merely rolling wave planning. SCOTT BELLWARE

التخطيط المرحلى


Definition from Gregory D. Githens, PMP, Catalyst Manage:
وضع خطة لكل مرحلة من المشروع على حدا اثناء تنفيذ المشروع

Example sentence(s):
  • It is not often possible to foresee the future activities in a project with consistent detail over the entire period of the project. Therefore, planning is often done in "waves" or stages, with the activities in the near term planned in detail and the activities in the longer distance of time left for future detail planning. - Rolling Wave Planning

التخطيط القصير الأجل


Definition from ta9weer:
هذا النوع من التخطيط يتعلق بالمستقبل القريب ويهدف هذا التخطيط إلى معالجة الأزمات الطارئة التي قد تستمر لمدة قصيرة والتغلب عليها

Example sentence(s):
  • - عبدالرحمن الدويرج التخطيط القصير الأجل : وهو الذي يحاول أن يخطط لفترة لا تزيد عن سنتين في أطول الحالات وغالباً ما تكون الفترة المحددة سنة واحدة فقط أو أقل ، وهذا النوع من التخطيط يتعلق بالمستقبل القريب ويهدف هذا التخطيط إلى معالجة الأزمات الطارئة التي قد تستمر لمدة قصيرة والتغلب عليها ، وغالباً ما يستخدم هذا النوع من التخطيط عند إقامة مشروع عام بقصد حل مشكلة قائمة بذاتها ، وكلما قصرت المدة الزمنية للخطة كلما كان في إمكان الإدارة التحكم فيها وتنفيذها بدقة وذلك لسهولة وضع التصور والشكل الكلي للمستقبل القريب والتنبؤ به . - ملتقى التخطيط والتطو�
