I have lots of projects which have work flows but no real schedule.
So a task like
* todo write satellite paper
might have subtasks like
** todo prepare orbit simulation for Katja
** todo get results from Claire
** todo compare with David and Frederic
** todo schedule teleconference to share writing tasks
etc etc
I would probably schedule the first of these for some free time.
What I would like is that when subtask 1 (simulation for Katja) is
done that the second (wait for results) is automatically scheduled and
so appears in my agenda. Of course the first thing I might do is
reschedule it but at least it hasn't fallen out of sight. I suspect
the "stuck project" agenda view accomplishes this manually but I
would be interested in automating this if it were possible. It could
be, too, that I need to learn to spend more time outside the "agenda
view".
Any pointers welcome
regards
Peter

In cases like this I just schedule the level 1 task to the agenda and it
stays 'in my face' until all of the subitems are complete.

Do take a look at contrib/lisp/org-depend.el. It can switch the TODO
states but I do not think it does automatic scheduling.
