When a new regulatory feature is introduced that exceeds the capacity of the remaining iteration, it is essential to engage stakeholders in a discussion to reprioritize the work. This aligns with agile principles, which emphasize collaboration, customer feedback, and responding to change. The project lead should facilitate a meeting with stakeholders to determine the most valuable features and adjust the scope of the final iteration accordingly. This may involve deferring less critical features to a later release or finding other ways to accommodate the new requirement within the project constraints.
