What matters is prioritization and momentum. You're gonna get more people aligned if you focus on things that other teams happen to be working on at the same time. If you decide to work on something else when there is a huge infrastrucuture design project going on, just because of some precommitted sprint plan, you're gonna play catch up later. If you keep dropping a task for another because of arbitrary sprint plan, you're gonna be jerking yourself and the team around and never getting people get aligned with what you're building for long enough and it'll ge harder to get feedback from them. Momentum matters, especially for multi product teams, such as in data science and data engineering.
