That's a bummer. I'm always doing work outside my sprint/scope/team, probably as much as 20-40% of my time— my company has no issue with it, and I think it's especially valuable for building cross-team empathy, technical understanding, and so on. Now, I'm quite senior at my org and I also have a track record of my "side bets" turning out to be tremendously valuable on multiple past occasions. But I don't think there's a special policy just for me— this is a company-wide culture thing.
