After I create a project areas based upon a process template, it is possible change to another process template? I think it is not, but I am not sure, so I'd like to confirm this.

No, it's not possible.
The project area is not "using" a process template. But rather, it is _initialized_ based on a process template. Once initialized, there are no links between the two. And you cannot initialize a project area twice. Process templates provide a starting point and guide for a project area process configuration and iteration structure. They can include process documentation in HTML format. You apply a process template when you create a project area; the process can then be modified in the project area or its team areas, independent of the template. Comments

the statement "... Once initialized, there are no links between the two ..." seems not to be the whole truth.

Both responses are true, however, one question do you already have existing work items in the project. If so you may be facing some issues in being to access and process those work items. You can replace the process template configuration XML. but you did not indicate what the process templates were. DId you create a project using the Formal Process and now want to use the Scrum template. Or do you have something that you started with a default template and then customized and exported?
Again it comes down to how much data you have or if you are just starting out and how different the process is. If you have no records. just retire the project and start again. If the processes are completely different I would create a new project. Export the work items from the current project and import them into the new project. You might have to do some adjustments. It's all about how much customization you have done and how far along you. Comments

hi, thanks for the answers. I tried to copy and paste the new (SAFe) process to the process configuration source but it didn't help. the problem is I'm using also the source code so I can't move to another project with another source code.... |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
