In Tandem

"In tandem" is an adverbial phrase that describes actions or processes occurring at the same time and in conjunction with each other, often implying a cooperative or coordinated effort. It suggests that two or more things are working together or alongside each other to achieve a common goal or outcome. The phrase emphasizes the simultaneous and interconnected nature of the activities. It doesn't necessarily mean perfectly synchronized but rather that the actions are happening concurrently and are related. The term is often used in both literal and figurative senses. In literal terms, it can describe activities like two cyclists riding a tandem bicycle. Figuratively, it can describe two departments in a company working together on a project.
