Project tasks in order but not date dependent

I am trying to set up a sheet that uses a gantt chart to track the timeline for a project with multiple steps that must occur in order.  My goal is that the tasks must be completed in order and nothing can be done on the task until the previous task is signed off as completed by the owner.  Ideally there would be an alert to the owner of the next task.

I looked at dependency functions, and predecessors to do this, but I don't want the timeline to change based on changes to the previous task.  If one task takes longer, the next task has less time, so an automatic adjustment that keeps the same duration won't work.  Is there a way to do this?

Thank you.
