Early on in the project planning, it was discovered that a tool application determined to be used for this transition was not generating the results needed and more help support was requested then from Microsoft. Simultaneously, Jesus took the initiative to run several tests on his own which determined that there was a specific error to the original task sequence that allows this important application to work. Jesus then conducted additional tests and was able to outline the malfunction of the program which led to the resolution of the matter.
