I’ve been waiting patiently (freakin’ impatiently?) for 10+ years for some word, any word, to dethrone “agile” as the most frequently seen word on book, video, and article titles in the software industry. Thanks to the highly esteemed Gartner consulting firm, perhaps we have a viable candidate:

“Bimodal IT refers to having two modes of IT, each designed to develop and deliver information- and technology-intensive services in its own way. Mode 1 is traditional, emphasizing scalability, efficiency, safety and accuracy. Mode 2 is non-sequential, emphasizing agility and speed.” – Gartner IT Glossary

Personally, I like the word “Tradagile” better than “Bimodal“. It’s lighter, less stuffy.

I’m goin’ Bimodal! W00t!
