In this report you will design and implement an enterprise architecture solution. From your reading in the annotated bibliography or other EA related readings in the literature (e.g. Resources in scholar.google.com) implement a solution.
A local real case needs to be selected, analyzed for its issues and problems and a suitable EA solution should be selected from the literature. In this business case you need to show your mastery of the selected EA solution by reading about the framework from the literature and having deeper understanding of the material. E.g. let us assume, you decided based on your analysis of the case that TOGAF was suitable solution for the problem. You must read about TOGAF and implement it as the best a solution to your case. So you will do many changes of the organization you are analyzing based on TOGAF framework with a link to the literature.
