En ingeniería de software se considera una bifurcación (en inglés fork) al desarrollo de un proyecto informático tomando como base un código fuente que ya existe o a la ramificación de un proyecto madre en varios proyectos que son independientes entre sí y que cuentan con objetivos o desarrolladores diferentes. Como resultado de una bifurcación se pueden derivar varios proyectos de uno preexistente, los cuales pueden intentar cubrir necesidades distintas aunque similares o implementar diferentes soluciones con el fin de abordar los mismos problemas pudiendo llegar a competir entre ellos. Ejemplos de bifurcaciones de software son la Enciclopedia Libre (escindida de la Wikipedia en español), los sistemas operativos Android, Debian y Ubuntu (derivados de GNU Linux), las suites de ofimática de código abierto LibreOffice y (basadas en OpenOffice).
