Predicting software development schedule is like reading tea leaves. Ultimately, it's up to product managers to shave off some features, and build up others, depending on how things go, and move expectations in or out of releases. They can do this, because they're in contact with everyone: developers, management, customers.
One thing I found that most developers dislike is constant check-up meetings, which typically have the opposite effect. As they say "beatings will continue until morale improves"... not a good idea.
