This is just plane nasty and take a lot of time. It can take over 8 hours to complete the migration once it has been planned out, and that time depends on the process template you are moving from, the one you are moving to, and the customisations you have made along the way.
If all of your Team Projects have different customisations, then this is probably a non-starter. Note There are many circumstance where this is not possible note: Even our most technical TFS Consultant takes days to do this I have never done this.
This gives us the best of both worlds, with an export of Work Item data to another location, destroying all the existing work item types along with all of the data, then install the new Work Item Types and reload the data. This is still a horrible process, but it keeps the Source Code history intact, and allows for the process template to be completely upgraded.
Note There are many circumstance where this is not possible. In this scenario you get to keep all of the history in tact and also get to start afresh with new work item types. For me options 7 is the most appropriate for most circumstances and is part of my default arsenal.
The rest I only use if I have to, but if a customer is happy with 1, 2 or 3 then I am unlikely to argue as they are easy to implement. Check out the many training classes that we have.

I will often use the above construction metaphor to help customers understand what we are talking about in lue of a solution from the product team that is currently Under Review: Allow for updating project templates on existing projects in TFS add your vote if you have any left The complexity of the change will depend on the scale and scope of the changes that you have made to your process template and the instance that is used in the Team Project.
Pro Little or no work to achieve Con You have to use the old template Note this is not a con unless there is some feature that people want 1. We can customize template after it is downloaded into our local computer system.
Process of customization is iterative process and there will be several times before final template is ready for the production deployment. Too many projects have been creates with badly designed template and converting them into new better template is a tough undertaking. So, plan very carefully…. We need to upload template back into TFS after our customizations of it have been finalized.
This upload process is very similar to download and we use same Template Process Editor to do just that. Select it and start uploading template into TFS. Finally, we need to test our newly installed process template.
