In [[computing]], the '''chaos model''' is a structure of [[software development]]. Its creator, who used the pseudonym L.B.S. Raccoon,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/scrumdevelopment/message/33620 |title=Scrumdevelopment : Message: Re: [scrumdevelopment] Re: Agile triangulation |accessdate=2013-02-08 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130412054525/http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/scrumdevelopment/message/33620 |archivedate=2013-04-12 }}</ref> noted that project management models such as the [[spiral model]] and [[waterfall model]], while good at managing schedules and staff, didn't provide methods to fix bugs or solve other technical problems. At the same time, programming methodologies, while effective at fixing bugs and solving technical problems, do not help in managing deadlines or responding to customer requests. The structure attempts to bridge this gap. [[Chaos theory]] was used as a tool to help understand these issues.<ref>ACM Digital Library, [http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=225914 The chaos model and the chaos cycle], ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, Volume 20 Issue 1, Jan. 1995</ref>
