Inventions in rapid succession changed our world past centuries in countless ways on a scale never seen before. Most significant in the world today has been, is, and always will be the Industrial Revolutions. Yes, you are reading it right: Revolutions. Because there are more then one. Five, up until now. Starting with the ‘First’ official revolution.
Steam powered engines, fueled by coal, 1765, leading up to mass mechanization of production. For ever disrupting the ancient status-quo feudalism. It started in 1700 and took only 6 decades to grasp the whole world, speeding up evolution so fast it makes your head spin.
The exact date's of start and end of the cycle's can vary, depending on the sources consulted. This infographic is perhaps a less rigid way of looking at modern inventions.
Most recent Innovations came into being during the Third Revolution. And mostly together with Software Development on an ever growing scale.
Although the main topics are Kanban, Scrum, and Lean & Agile, they each have multiple forms and/or are part of larger, sometimes multiple methods and conceptions. They are also used to meet specific product needs. Some work well on a large scale, some will fail without the right adjustments. Some will only be used for software development, others only elsewhere. So there are far more methods to explore and consider, depending on the needs and scale of your organization and the nature of the problems that need to be solved.
In reality, in general people use hybrid constructions or a set of approaches to tackle their problems. To get the best understanding of what’s what and who used it before to which end, it is best we start with a little bit of history. So, a good old boring timeline, reconstructed, using various infographics you can find below.
