So you do things one step at a time and timebox as you go? This method probably doesn't need its own name. In fact I think that's just what timeboxing is.
FWIW Mikado seems to be the name of that game where you pick up one stick at a time from a pile, while trying to not disturb the pile. (I forget the exact rules). So it isn’t as if somebody is trying to name this method after themselves or something, it is just an attempt at an evocative made up term. Timeboxing is also, right? I mean, timeboxing is not recognized by my spell checker (I’d agree that it is more intuitive though).
