Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for constraining individual meeting times of a task to a specified total duration of aggregated meeting times. In an embodiment of the invention, a method of constraining individual meeting times of a task to a specified total duration of aggregated meeting times is provided. The method includes selecting an event amongst a plurality of events associated with a single task in a C&S system executing in memory of a host server. The method further includes adjusting a duration of time for the selected event. The method yet further includes determining whether or not a sum total of all durations of time for the events associated with the single task exceeds a time constraint for the single task. Thereafter, in response to determining the sum total of all durations of time for the events associated with the single task to have exceeded the time constraint for the single task, a compensatory adjustment of time can be apportioned to remaining ones of the events associated with the single task.
