This is something related to management. The cycle consists of "plan, do, check, act". Does anyone know what it is called in Japanese?

PDCAサイクル or デニング（PDCA）サイクル
Explanation:
This is commonly called the PDCA cycle, so called for the first letter of each of the steps of the cycle. I've never heard anyone call it the Denning cycle in Japan, but I've heard it called the PDCA cycle plenty of times. see the Google search reference (185,000 exact phrase hits). If you want to use Denning's name, you might want to first describe it as PDCA as noted above.
