Pronunciation: [mˌe͡ɪd ɪt az wˈɒn ɡə͡ʊz ɐlˈɒŋ] (IPA) 
When we are faced with uncertain situations or tasks, we need to be able to improvise and adjust our plans as we go. The phrase "made it as one goes along" implies this improvisation. However, there are alternative ways to express this concept. One possibility is "winging it," meaning to improvise or do something without preparation. Another option is "flying by the seat of one's pants," which means acting without a plan. "On-the-fly" is a phrase that emphasizes making decisions and changes in the moment, while "ad-libbing" refers specifically to improvising in a performance or speech. All of these phrases communicate the idea of making things up as one goes along.
