How To Handle Meetings In Project
There are various ways to handle meetings. One is to simply not include them as a detail task but just let them be part of normal work activity. However, if time spent in meeting is perhaps under a separate charge account then the meeting task should be separately listed.
For the latter, the simplest approach is to create a dependency as shown here.
Another option is to edit the assignment work start time as shown here
Depending on the how the assignment hours are spread over the "other tasking" (e.g. not necessarily a full 8 hours each day), adjusting the leveling options, (Resource > Level group > Leveling options), to look for overallocation on a "week by week" or "month by month" basis may be appropriate.
Hope this helps.
