A word that means 'everything lined up perfectly'

I'm looking for a word that means everything went just right, or lined up perfectly. I mean this more in the sense of 'happened very efficiently,' such as an assembly line (be it in a factory, kitchen, etc) that is well timed, well thought out, and effective. Could even be used to describe a well staged dance number.

Is there a word for this particular thing? Also, Synergy is not the word I'm looking for. Tech startups have ruined that word for me. :(


Solution 1:

Single word:

groove, noun \ˈgrüv\ -MW

  1. a state in which you are able to do something well and easily especially because you are doing it often

Idioms:

like clockwork -TFD

  1. without problems. Most of the performance went like clockwork, but there were a few little things that weren't perfect.

well-oiled machine -Macmillan

  1. a well-oiled system, project, or company operates without problems. Each of these can also be referred to as a well-oiled machine.

Running like a well-oiled machine; everyone in their groove, the performance went like clockwork.

Solution 2:

Well-choreographed could work for your purposes.

A definition of choreograph from FreeDictionary.com:

To plan out or oversee the movement, development, or details of; orchestrate: aides who choreographed the candidate's tour.

Well-choreographed implies that the work/event/process was planned carefully and even rehearsed, and then it went according to plan.

The term can, of course, be used for a well-staged dance number. But here are a couple of non-stage-related examples from Wordnik:

Saleh's speech Thursday was broadcast live on Yemeni television and included scenes of well-choreographed support.

The IPO is well-choreographed to succeed, with a high-profile company with top-notch assets run by a successful executive.

Solution 3:

Try "jibe". Some people who don't hear too well substitute "jive" when attempting to communicate this idea.

jibe2

[no object] North American informal
Be in accord; agree:
the verdict does not jibe with the medical evidence

[ODO]

Solution 4:

Flawless and seamless are similar terms, but I'd imagine you'd need an action, like flawless execution.

If you wanted to get really archaic, you could say ne plus ultra:

ne plus ultra (n):

  1. the highest, ultimate point of achievement which can be reached; perfection
  2. the highest possible state, degree, or condition of quality; nothing better

Solution 5:

precision

noun

  1. The quality, condition, or fact of being exact and accurate
