I am working on a construction schedule and wondering what the best practice is for attaching predecessors. I have noticed my Gantt chart is currently a bit all over the place and I am thinking it is because I have too many predecessors for each task. Do more experienced Smartsheet users recommend only having one predecessor for each task? Thanks!

    I would recommend keeping the predecessor column accurate (i.e. with multiple predecessors, if applicable) and then using a milestone or key activities report to view a simplified Gantt.
