You don't necessarily have to push all files into the global agenda. Instead, you can set `org-agenda-custom-commands` to something like '(("p" "Some project" ((alltodo "")) ((org-agenda-files '("path/to/file.org" "path/to/another.org")))) ("o" "Another project" ((alltodo "")) ((org-agenda-files '("another/project/file.org"))))) Now using `M-x org-agenda p` will give you a todo list for the first project, and `M-x org-agenda o` for the second project.
