Sprint 2 retrospective

How to use: the Scrum Master facilitates on Wed 2026-10-28 right after the review. Data first, then discussion, then root cause, then actions. Every action becomes a kaizen issue and a row in docs/lean-six-sigma/KAIZEN_BACKLOG.md. The rubric requires this retrospective to record changes to the research question, method, scope, or interpretation.

Date: 2026-10-28. Facilitator: Hina Kramer. Attendees: [ ] Leticia Aderhold [ ] Jerad Dunne [ ] Allie Hodges [ ] Hina Kramer
