codevelopment
Building something together
Codevelopment is the joint development of something by two or more parties working together.
The term appears in business contexts for products or technologies developed through partnership: The pharmaceutical companies announced a codevelopment agreement for the new drug.
In software, it describes collaborative creation across teams or organizations.
