It means that two or more agents (attorneys-in-fact) can exercise the powers granted by the POA with or without joinder of the other agent or agents. Hence the agents can sign a document together or individually with the same legal effect.

"Jointly and severally" means that multiple individuals named in a power of attorney have the authority to act on behalf of the person granting the power of attorney. This means that each person can individually act and make decisions without consulting the others, but all parties are collectively responsible for the actions taken.
