Using "bifurcate"

I've always thought of this word in relation to an object -- something that is forked or split. Recently I've heard it used to describe the segregation of responsibilities in someone's job. For example... The project management role will shared by two people, with responsibilities bifurcated into business and technical tasks.

I suppose this is acceptable, but it doesn't really sound right... Thoughts?

Thanks!
