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

Definition from own experience or research:
Oblik progresivnog,detaljnoga planiranja kad je posao koji se mora obaviti u bliskoj budućnosti detaljno planiran na vrlo niskoj razini WBS-a, dok je posao koji se mora obaviti u daljoj budućnosti planiran na relativno visokoj
razini WBS-a.Međutim, detaljno planiranje posla koji treba izvršiti unutar jednog ili dva razdoblja u bliskoj budućnosti obavlja se tijekom završavanja posla u tekućem
razdoblju.

Example sentence(s):
  • Talasanje kao strategija u planiranju prihvata činjenicu da će se stvari tokom realizacije projekta promijeniti, tako da se od tima traži da detaljno isplanira samo prvi "talas", a ostale talase koji slede da isplanira na višem nivou detaljnosti. - vibilia
