In my custom agenda view for Projects I set 
    (org-tags-match-list-sublevels 'indented)

(Tags have been removed for clarity)

Projects
  Rxxxx:      TODO Rxxxx Some Release
  Rxxxx:      .TODO Some Project
  Rxxxx:      ..TODO Some SubProject
  Rxxxx:      ...NEXT Some Task
  Rxxxx:      .TODO Another Project
  Rxxxx:      ..TODO Another Subproject
  Rxxxx:      ...TODO Another Subproject
  Rxxxx:      ....NEXT Another Task
  Rxxxx:      ..TODO Another Subproject [2/6]

which matches my actual tasks in Development.org

#+TITLE: Development
* TODO Rxxxx Some Release
** TODO Some Project
*** TODO Some Subproject
**** NEXT Some Task
** TODO Another Project
*** TODO Another Subproject
**** TODO Another Subproject
***** NEXT Another Task
*** TODO Another Subproject [2/6]
...
