Yeah, my wife is a PM and a majority of her meetings are CYA. It’s great when a department says, “we have no idea what you’re talking about,” and she can show them the video of them agreeing or confirming that this.
A lot of them are also just to get an answer to a yes or no question when the entire department is ignoring the question in both email and chat.
The best part is that she’s only trying to meet their own ridiculous deadline.
the overlap between good documentation and covering your ass well is just a circle, and I love it
both because it gets my team to document stuff, and it means I can point to the CYA trail when somebody comes to me huffing and puffing about something they think I was supposed to handle
