The report should be clear and precise, with each section providing in-depth analysis and evidence to
support the claim. Using visual aids like Gantt charts, graphs, and tables can greatly enhance the
understanding of the disruptions' impacts on the project. This structured approach ensures all critical
aspects of the disruption claim are addressed comprehensively.
