                          • 26: Coderetreat with progressive sessions without deleting the code
                            In this episode I am describing an experimental Coderetreat format I used in one of my last retreats. The goal was to have progressive sessions without deleting the code, a bit like product development. I am talking about:
                            • Options to work on progressive sessions during the day in general.
                            • Validation of the Coderetreat principles for the taken option.
                            • Actual kata used and its requirement changes.
                            • Sessions run during the day and what to focus on as facilitator.
                            • Conclusion including feedback from participants.
