Is the word progredimos the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "progredimos" is identical in spelling, grammar, and meaning in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. It is the first-person plural form of the verb progredir (to progress/advance) in both the Present Indicative and the Preterite Indicative. The only difference is pronunciation: Brazilian Portuguese tends to have more open vowels and a syllable-timed rhythm (where each syllable has a similar duration), whereas Continental Portuguese features more closed vowels and a stress-timed rhythm (where the duration of syllables depends on their stress).
