French term or phrase: réunion de suivi
IT management speak

"Tout autre écart identifié comme une non-conformité lors du comité de pilotage, de la réunion de suivi auprès d’AAA, d’un audit interne..."

... but it is a gestion term generally. "Monitoring meeting" sounds too clumsy and personally I've never heard this used in EN. There must I would have thought be a more or less perfect EN equiv. Anyone know it?

Explanation:
I'm not sure there's anything much wrong with "monitoring meeting", but "progress meeting" is a viable and common alternative that surely means the same thing.

neutral  Martin Cassell: but to me, a "follow-up" meeting is likely to be a one-off, *after* some completed action/event/project: whereas réunions de suivi are, typically, regular meetings during a project

oversight meeting


Explanation:
