My question is, I wonder how Apple does it. Or May be Netflix. I think that is the only two in FAANG that is any good in product / project at a large scale.
Apple brute-forces it. They announce or decide to announce a release and do what's needed to meet that date. Netflix relies on people being driven to do the right thing with the consequence that those that don't deliver will be shown the door.
It's only Apple. The problem space of Netflix is easy.
