tandem
One behind another
Tandem means one behind the other, in a line.
A tandem bicycle has two seats arranged this way, with both riders pedaling.
The word extends to any arrangement where things or people work together in sequence: The two departments operated in tandem to process applications.
Working in tandem suggests close coordination and cooperation, whether the parties are literally lined up or simply partnering closely on an effort.
