But how do you manage scope and deliverables on a team that doesn't occasionally require overtime?

Do you work at google?

Yes. As I mentioned in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8938244, I'm an engineer on Google Compute Engine.

I talked about how my team at Google, specifically, handles this in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8941915
