In organizations there's a trade off between efficiency of output and coherence.

If you want everyone in "producing" mode all of the time, they can't be in "waiting" mode, waiting for the coordination point in another team to be reached.

By default if you allow everyone to run at full speed at all times you get an incoherent mess.

A way to balance both goals is to have a clear, ambitious goal for everyone to sight off of so it's messy but default converging.

When people are waiting, everyone's twiddling their thumbs (but the performative version, twiddling by running around in circles). But at least the outcome is coherent.

Which is more important in your context, coherence or resource utilization?
