2h Code Retreat Timetable

Here is a typical time table to make the workshop stick in 2 hours. With this length, we'll stick to the standard code retreat format, but will only run 2 iterations. To maximize learning, we suggest:

  • to let every mob or pair choose their favorite constraint in the second iteration
  • to run an all-in retro at the end to foster interesting discussions
