A project manager is overseeing a hybrid project where regulatory compliance work follows a waterfall approach and customer-facing features follow Scrum. During a sprint review, stakeholders request adding a new compliance requirement that affects both components. The compliance work requires detailed documentation and formal approval, while the Scrum team prefers to add items directly to their backlog. What is the best approach to manage this change?

A product owner for a hybrid project needs to create requirements documentation. The project includes both a predictive hardware development phase and an agile software development phase. The hardware specifications must be finalized before manufacturing begins, while the software features will evolve based on user feedback. How should the project manager guide the product owner in documenting requirements?
