The PESTLE analysis is a tool that can help project managers identify and understand the broader external factors that they might need to consider when planning a project. In this scenario, the project manager is dealing with new regulations from several government agencies that will affect the solution. These regulations can be considered as legal factors in a PESTLE analysis. By using PESTLE, the project manager can assess and prioritize the impact of these changes on the project scope/backlog.
