Question
In the Sprint Planning meeting, the Product Owner and the Development Team were unable to reach a clear understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Development Team couldn't figure out how many Product Backlog items it could forecast for the upcoming Sprint. They were able to agree on a Sprint Goal, however.

Explanation
Because the team already agreed on a Sprint Goal, they have sufficient direction to proceed. B is correct: the team should use their best judgment to forecast which Product Backlog items are most likely needed to meet the Sprint Goal and build a Sprint Backlog accordingly - the Sprint Backlog can be refined as more is learned during the Sprint. D is correct: the Sprint Retrospective is the designated event to inspect the planning process and identify improvements for the future. Canceling the Sprint (A) is unwarranted since a Sprint Goal exists. Extending Sprint Planning past its time-box (C) violates Scrum's time-boxing principle. Option E delays action with no defined outcome and also risks blowing the time-box.
