If you look up the words agile & chaos together on Google, you'll find that it returns a whopping 819,000 results. This is proof enough for you to understand how chaotic agile could lead to be, if not implemented properly. In order to understand "why does It become chaotic" and "how should it be curbed", we need to first understand the fact that "It's not your project which needs to be tailored to the methodology; it's the methodology which needs to be tailored made to best suite your project". To optimize benefits from agile, it needs to be implemented intelligently. Agile manifesto lays the guidelines which should be adhered to. This does not mean that, you are not allowed to customize the usual set of procedures to best suit your project. Incorrect interpretation and usage of the methodology has a domino effect and at times is solely responsible jeopardizing the project. The primary reason as to why we consider agile methodology to be chaos driven is, because it doesn't allow you make mistakes, yet it expects you to deal with the uncertainties involved. There are multiple ways to deal with upcoming uncertainties. The purpose of this paper is to propose possible solutions by means of customizing the methodology to help you prevent, anticipate and deal with these uncertainties.
