Auto-scheduling might be difficult.

In my workflows I am using dependencies with :BLOCKER: and settings
SCHEDULED dates roughly but on the aggressive side.

With (setq org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks t) I get them all on my
agenda. You just have to learn to visually ignore the dimmed tasks.
From time to time I re-check dimmed tasks for the reason why they
are dimmed/blocked to find dead-ends.


An additional/other approach would be the use of :TRIGGER:
chain-siblings(NEXT) in order to move the NEXT state from a finished
task to the next one.
