single word requests - A better term for 'going through'



I am writing an abstract for a conference, to present a software project. I want to say I will go through all aspects of the project and would like to have better wording instead of "Going through" in the following sentence:




"_________ [Going through] all aspects of the project, ..."




I have the feeling it's poor English for an abstract (I am not a native English speaker so I may be wrong on this...).




I am looking for something maybe more figurative (?) that would give a better idea of describing all aspects of the project in the presentation.


Answer



I suggest the word Delineate.




Merriam Webster - Delineate




  • To describe, portray, or set forth with accuracy or in detail.




I will delineate all aspects of the project.



Our objectives need to be precisely delineated. We should delineate the steps to be taken by the government




I have used this word a couple of times in my abstract for journal publications. This is a formal word and I think it sounds great.



Other more obvious words that might work are Outline, Present, Discuss, and Describe.
