Add a WAITING tag and use filtering.

,----[ (info "(org)Agenda commands") ]
| Secondary filtering and query editing
| .....................................
| 
| `/'
|      Filter the current agenda view with respect to a tag and/or effort
|      estimates.  The difference between this and a custom agenda
|      command is that filtering is very fast, so that you can switch
|      quickly between different filters without having to recreate the
|      agenda(1)
| 
|      You will be prompted for a tag selection letter, SPC will mean any
|      tag at all.  Pressing <TAB> at that prompt will offer use
|      completion to select a tag (including any tags that do not have a
|      selection character).  The command then hides all entries that do
|      not contain or inherit this tag.  When called with prefix arg,
|      remove the entries that _do_ have the tag.  A second `/' at the
|      prompt will turn off the filter and unhide any hidden entries.  If
|      the first key you press is either `+' or `-', the previous filter
|      will be narrowed by requiring or forbidding the selected
|      additional tag.  Instead of pressing `+' or `-' after `/', you can
|      also immediately use the `\' command.
`----

If you want to do this automatically, see

,----[ http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html ]
| 9.3 Trigger Tags
| 
| The following tags are automatically added or removed by todo state triggers described previously in *ToDo state triggers
| 
|   * WAITING
|   * CANCELLED
|   * NEXT
