Management / Project management
English term or phrase: run up and down
Que pensez-vous de "run up and down" ?

"Of course, this is an iterative activity, like many things in project management and we will have to run up and down the steps to get the final schedule agreed."

CONTEXTE :

"Then we can identify the dependencies and set out the tasks in order, which will give us a network diagram. Estimating comes next, to establish the resources we require and the durations of the tasks and we also need to factor in the risks.

By adding the durations to the tasks we will establish the critical path and finally we can add the resources, which gives us a schedule.
Of course, this is an iterative activity, like many things in project management and we will have to run up and down the steps to get the final schedule agreed"

Explanation:
In this context, 'run up and down' means going through the steps a few times, so for the sake of clarity and concision, 'parcourir', or 'parcourir plusieurs fois' works better than a more literal translation.

neutral  Tony M: Under-translation: not only does it mean 'go through the steps', but also, go through them in bother directions, backwards and forwards, from end to end'; this important concept seems to me missing in your suggestion?
