Compared to how it is now, it's difficult to describe just how small it was. Unless you where at a big tech company, or university it was treated as a type of office job or trade. I worked on AS/400 accounting software. (I think my boss stole a copy from somewhere else that ran on System/36. ) We supplied this to a few dozen mid sized, blue collar companies in town. (One I remember sold gas station supplies) Programming would be done on site. Customers would want a new report, or a new field added to their system. I would come on site and code it for them. I guess in a way it was very agile. But I had no team, just me. And once in a while my boss you stop in to see how it was going, and help when I got stuck.
