Abstract
This study addresses IT governance in bimodal IT environments where traditional IT and agile IT development coexist. Drawing upon the concept of ambidextrous IT governance, this paper presents a systematic literature review that examines how organizations govern their bimodal IT environments. Grounded on ambidexterity theory, we propose a conceptual model that explicates how IT governance mechanisms support organizational ambidexterity by resolving bimodal IT challenges. The paper concludes with an agenda for future research, emphasizing the need for empirical validation of the framework and empirically investigating the effectiveness of the proposed mechanisms.
