PMP Practice: Anticipate and embrace the need for change

Ash Volkov is managing a hybrid project for Swift Horizon Labs to develop a new patient management system. The project has two major work streams: the core database infrastructure (predictive approach with fixed regulatory requirements) and the user interface (agile approach with iterative stakeholder feedback). Three months into the project, the compliance officer requests adding a new audit trail feature to track all patient data access. The compliance officer states this is mandatory for upcoming regulatory inspections in six months. The database team has completed 60% of their planned work and is on schedule, while the UI team is in their fourth sprint. Kenji confirms the audit trail spans both work streams and will require integration work. What strategy should Kenji use to handle this change?
