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".
