Null Pointer Exception when a plan is displayed

When I open a plan I get a java.lang.NullPointerException. The plan hasn't got any WI associated. I think it is something about the Process Template because I have been testing with Scrum template and the plan works properly. I have checked the process template source but I wasn't able to detect the error. Any idea?

I encountered a similar situation once. In that case I had parent child relationship in the project areas. The issue in my case was, that the parent project had a different process template and the child project had different process template. I dont know how that affected my plan but when I removed that parent child relationship, everything started working perfectly. No Null Pointer issues after that.

Please check if every work item type has a workflow associated.
If your case is not same as the above defect, you may check the "Process Configuration Source" history and find out what changes you have made recently.
