Your report should be professionally organized, written and presented. Sloppy reports will receive poor marks. The intention of your presentation should be to convince management of the relevance and appropriateness of the EA project, to convince them to fund the project.

You should cover the essential points of your report, should be no longer than 10 minutes (about 5 slides), and the emphasis should be on presenting the alignment between the business drivers and the IT initiatives.
