Risk Register features

Professional risk management, without leaving Jira.

Give teams a structured way to identify, assess, treat, monitor, and communicate risk—using the Jira workflows, permissions, search, and collaboration tools they already know.

One connected workflow

From identification to confident reporting

Risk Register brings the essential parts of professional risk management into a consistent, collaborative Jira experience.

01

Flexible risk registers

Build focused registers from a Jira project or a saved filter. Use JQL sub-filters to surface the risks that matter to a team, programme, department, or portfolio.

02

Configurable risk models

Define probability, impact, risk levels, colours, and matrix dimensions around your methodology. Apply a shared default model or tailor models to specific projects.

03

Inherent and residual risk

Assess exposure before and after treatment, compare the two views, and make the effect of your response strategy easier to understand.

04

Risk Foundry

Start faster with a curated library of 100 risks and 500 suggested treatments, written in an ISO-defensible format and ready to adapt to your context.

05

Connected treatment tracking

Create treatments as linked Jira work items, sub-tasks, or structured content. Assign responsibility, monitor delivery, and retain Jira’s workflow and audit history.

06

Registers and interactive matrices

Move between detailed table views and visual matrices. Prioritise exposure, inspect a matrix cell, and open the underlying Jira work without losing context.

See exposure clearly

Visual insight with detail one click away

Use a familiar register for detailed review and a configurable matrix for rapid prioritisation. Compare inherent and residual exposure, then drill into the Jira work behind any result.

  • Configurable table and matrix views
  • Probability, impact, level, ownership, and status in context
  • Direct access to the underlying Jira work items

Communicate risk

Dashboards stakeholders can act on

Add a risk matrix gadget to Jira dashboards to monitor distribution, report alongside other delivery information, and give stakeholders a current view of exposure.

Choose inherent or residual risk, select the applicable risk model, use a compact chromeless presentation, and open the matching risks directly from a matrix cell.

Bring the same live dashboard into Confluence with Smart Links, so risk information stays current wherever stakeholders work.

Built to fit your organisation

Flexible enough for teams. Consistent enough for enterprise.

Jira-native permissions

Use established Jira access controls and project permissions to govern who can view, assess, administer, and update risks.

Multiple work types

Assess risk on the Jira work types that suit your operating model—including risks, incidents, changes, projects, and other configured items.

Organisation-specific terminology

Adapt inherent risk, residual risk, probability, impact, and other labels to match the language your teams already use.

Project-level configuration

Inherit organisation-wide settings or override supported options for an individual Jira project without disrupting other teams.

Assessment consistency

Harmonisation keeps stored assessments aligned with the applicable risk model when configuration changes.

Jira collaboration and traceability

Use ownership, comments, workflows, search, issue links, and work-item history to make risk management part of everyday delivery.

Ready when your teams are

Turn risk management into part of everyday work

Replace fragmented spreadsheets with a visible, repeatable process that connects risk decisions to delivery in Jira.
