Some Software Development History

There is a lot to the history of software development.  Start with Managing the Development of Large Software Systems[1] (1970), the misunderstanding that led to the waterfall process and classic project management[2].  The term agile comes from the Manifesto for Agile Software Development[3] (2001) though the groundwork for that philosophy started in the 1990s (history[4])
including eXtreme Programming[5] and Scrum[6].  Scrum being based on[7] Toyota's manufacturing model where Kanban and its principles[8] began: The New New Product Development Game[9].
