What is bimodal IT? And how to get started to bridge the bimodal divide?

The concept of bimodal IT—having two different application development streams with different techniques and goals—isn’t new. Many organizations have development groups that are not part of the standard IT development structure, including developers embedded within business units creating applications that IT couldn’t deliver quickly enough, and skunkworks development groups prototyping new ideas.

Gartner defines bimodal IT as the practice of managing two separate, coherent modes of IT delivery, one focused on stability and the other on agility. Mode 1 is traditional and sequential, emphasizing safety and accuracy. Mode 2 is exploratory and nonlinear, emphasizing agility and speed.*

Read this white paper to find out how to adopt bimodal IT, including resourcing, management structures and deciding which new projects are Mode 1 or Mode 2.
