That's the entire point: she probably wouldn't have.
This would never have made it into any human made meeting notes, as it was an inconsequential joke, the acceptability of which rests solely on her peers in the meeting.

Yes, software.

> the PM is the authority on site

In my case he was the mediator, when things became problematic, and heads started running a little hot, he made us all take a step back and better identify the question at hand.

And considering our clients were the C-levels, yeah, he dealt with those too, thank god...

TBH the best PM I had did only that, but really delivered. He knew which team to contact, where to request work to be done, got us into contact with relevant technical people...
Essentially he:
- coordinated work across teams (ie created dependencies of work and got someone allocated to do it)
- made sure technical discussions happened in a timely manner (was 3 steps ahead of current state of project), within scope (even though he understood at best half of what was discussed) and with the correct people present
- got time estimates and accounted for delays, so we basically were never "late" even though we hit setbacks.

Working under him was a breeze, and he was a really nice guy too.
