Question 1 of 30
During an internal process assessment conducted according to ISO/IEC 33002:2015, an assessor identifies a potential non-conformity in the \"Requirements Elicitation\" process of a software development team. The process owner, Ms. Anya Sharma, strongly disagrees with the assessor\'s interpretation of a specific interview transcript, asserting that the documented evidence does not support the conclusion of inadequate stakeholder engagement. What is the most appropriate immediate action for the internal assessor to take in this scenario to uphold the principles of ISO/IEC 33002:2015?
Re-examine the interview transcript and any related documentation, clearly articulating the rationale for the finding based on the assessment criteria and evidence.
Immediately escalate the disagreement to the head of the quality assurance department for a final decision on the finding.
Accept the process owner's assertion to avoid conflict and proceed with the assessment without further investigation of this specific point.
Document the disagreement as a subjective opinion from the process owner and proceed to the next assessment activity without attempting to resolve it.
