ABSTRACT
A Brief History UML was pioneered by Jim Rumbaugh, Ivar Jacobson, and Grady Booch, who originally had their own competing methods (OMT — Object Modeling Technique, OOSE — Object Oriented Software Engineering, and Booch). Eventually, they joined forces and brought about an open standard. UML has become a standard modeling language for analysts, designers, and architects because it is programming-language independent. Also, the UML notation set is a language and not a methodology. As such, this language can easily fit into any company’s way of conducting business without requiring change.
