have you considered using org-depend? this is what i use for almost
exactly what you described:

1. a project has several TODOs
2. the first TODO (manually) is assigned a TRIGGER property with
   "chain-siblings(NEXT)" as value
3. as this task is marked DONE, the one below is switched to NEXT
   state and also gets the property
4. switching to NEXT causes org-todo-state-tags-triggers to tag the
   task with NEXT tag
5. a custom agenda view adds a block of these NEXT tasks
