I agree with Brian. We started with templates and continue to use templates except for personal projects. Our templates use predecessor as well. Only project managers can add or delete tasks from projects. Team members can notify the PM if a task needs to be added and for tasks no longer related, we use "Not Needed", which sets the task to complete. Rochelle L.
