English term

rolling wave planning

GBK English to Chinese Tech/Engineering Management
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 sentences:
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)

滚动计划法<br />出自 MBA智库百科(<b><a href="http://wiki.mbalib.com/)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://wiki.mbalib.com/)</a></b><br />滚动计划法——一种定期修订未来计划的方法 <br /><br />目录<br /> [隐藏]<br />•1 滚动计划法的含义<br />•2 滚动计划法的制定流程<br />•3 滚动计划法的优点<br />•4 案列研究<br />•5 相关条目<br /> <br />[编辑]滚动计划法的含义 <br />　　滚动计划法是按照“近细远粗”的原则制定一定时期内的计划，然后按照计划的执行情况和环境变化，调整和修订未来的计划，并逐期向后移动，把短期计划和中期计划结合起来的一种计划方法。 <br /><br />　　滚动计划（也称滑动计划）是一种动态编制计划的方法。它不象静态分析那样，等一项计划全部执行完了之后再重新编制下一时期的计划，而是在每次编制或调整计划时，均将计划按时间顺序向前推进一个计划期，即向前滚动一次，按照制订的项目计划进行施工，对保证项目的顺利完成具有十分重要的意义。但是由于各种原因，在项目进行过程中经常出现偏离计划的情况，因此要跟踪计划的执行过程，以发现存在的问题。另外，跟踪计划还可以监督过程执行的费用支出情况，跟踪计划的结果通常还可以作为向承包商部分支付的依据。然而，计划却经常执行得很差，甚至会被完全抛弃。 <br /><br />　　其编制方法是：在已编制出的计划的基础上，每经过一段固定的时期（例如一年或一个季度，这段固定的时期被称为滚动期）便根据变化了的环境条件和计划的实际执行情况，从确保实现计划目标出发对原计划进行调整。每次调整时，保持原计划期限不变，而将计划期顺序向前推进一个滚动期。<br />......
