The best arrangement is to have business report to business and engineers report to IT, but have them communicate directly. This was they can't be pressured by business into short term tasks, because they are on the same level and not just mere subordinates of business folks. In traditional (not engineer-first) companies, engineers are subordinates of PMs or business directly without their own agenda, so they just accept the fate and become a feature factory for the company.
