Remember, you can set CATEGORY property which is displayed in the
leftmost column of an agenda view. I set it in projects.org file so I
don't have to use :PROJECT: tag.

So use the ORDERED property, or properly nest action and enforce todo
dependencies . Actions that cannot be taken
right know because they depend on other actions will be displayed in
grey font on an agenda. If, however, they are featured this way there
probably is a way to hide them completely.

Thanks Matt!

However, this seems to show all the TODO items below a PROJECT item,
including the DONE ones. What I had in mind was to show only the first
child. Is it possible?

Thanks,

Marcelo.

You could use a sparse tree view:

(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
 '("x" "PROJECT+N/A" tags-tree "PROJECT|TODO=\"TODO\""
   ((org-show-siblings nil)
(org-show-entry-below nil
