In the 80's there was a software crisis. Organisations and companies needed a system to overcome problems (and limitations) that arose with procedural languages. According to

Poeple interested in this subject might find this book interesting:
Booch, Grady. Object-Oriented Design With Applications
There is also a 2nd Ed. I never read that one, but I know it exists.
