You can also try to eliminate dependencies as well as track them. This is partly why in software it's so critical to loosely couple software. If you're working on a big old ball of mud there are so many dependencies that even the smallest task ends up taking forever. Fortunately SCRUM provides you with a block of time which you can use to decouple software independently of working on features or bugs, so this necessary work always gets done. Ha.
