“Strong leadership and the trusted engagement of key business stakeholders are critical in pushing bimodal forward in any organisation. To keep up momentum, Gartner maintains that a two-to three-year bimodal vision is essential to a long-term strategy. Organisations sometimes struggle with project managing the transition, because they find it difficult to bridge the gap between the so called ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ lanes.
Gartner has identified three best practices to enable project management organisations (PMO) to better manage any type of IT project or program within the portfolio: use a simple approach to work out which mode works best for each project, define the intended business outcome as the measure of success such as improving lead generation by X percent and finally, ensuring a consistent approach to governing once the project has started.”- Robin De Keyser, excerpted, from the article “Two for the Price of One” Exploring the concept of biomodal IT and what it could mean for your business @ ITP.net.
