Agile delivery
Keep risks close to epics, stories, tasks, dependencies, and delivery decisions without introducing a separate system for teams to maintain.
Risk Register for information technology
Agile risk management that works the way IT teams do.
A lightweight, responsive risk process built into Jira—so teams can identify, assess, treat, and monitor uncertainty without slowing delivery or maintaining another disconnected tool.
Professional without being burdensome
Make risk part of delivery—not another ceremony
Technology teams already manage changing priorities, dependencies, incidents, technical decisions, and delivery work in Jira. Moving risk into a separate spreadsheet or specialist platform adds friction, duplicates information, and makes the register harder to keep current.
Risk Register adds a focused risk-management layer to the Jira environment teams already understand. It is easy to adopt, quick to navigate, and structured enough for professional oversight without turning routine risk updates into an administrative project.
Teams can work locally within their Jira projects while programme and technology leaders use saved filters and dashboards for broader visibility.
Built for modern technology work
Use one practical approach across the IT portfolio
From a single agile team to an enterprise transformation, keep risk information connected to the work and visible at the right level.
Software and product development
Track uncertainty around scope, architecture, quality, releases, adoption, and technical dependencies alongside the product work in Jira.
Technology change
Manage risks across migrations, platform upgrades, cloud adoption, integrations, and modernisation programmes with current ownership and treatment status.
Cyber and resilience initiatives
Connect identified risks to the remediation, control-improvement, incident, and continuity work already being delivered by technology teams.
Services and operations
Maintain visibility of operational, availability, capacity, supplier, and service-transition risks using familiar Jira projects and workflows.
Portfolio oversight
Combine risks from multiple Jira projects with saved filters, giving technology leaders a consolidated view without duplicating team-level records.
Deep Jira integration
Risk management in the flow of work
Risk Register builds on Jira projects, permissions, search, dashboards, workflows, issue links, comments, and history. Risks remain connected to delivery context, while treatment actions behave like accountable work—not notes buried in a spreadsheet.
- Open the underlying Jira work directly from registers and matrices
- Track treatments with owners, priorities, statuses, and workflows
- Keep collaboration and change history in one familiar environment
Simple for teams, useful for leaders
The Jira capabilities you rely on—applied to risk
Project-native registers
Create a register for a Jira project and keep the risk process aligned with the team’s existing delivery context.
Saved filters and JQL
Build cross-project registers from saved filters, then apply JQL sub-filters to focus reviews on the risks that matter now.
Connected treatment work
Create treatments as linked Jira work items or sub-tasks, with their own owners, priority, status, workflow, and history.
Established permissions
Use Jira access controls and project permissions rather than recreating a separate permission model for risk management.
Dashboards and Confluence
Add interactive risk matrices to Jira dashboards and share live dashboard views in Confluence using Smart Links.
Terminology that fits
Adapt assessment labels and terminology at organisation or project level so the experience makes sense to each team.
Fast insight, less reporting effort
From team register to portfolio view
Switch between an efficient table view and a configurable risk matrix. Compare inherent and residual exposure, then drill into the risks behind any matrix cell.
Add a risk matrix gadget to Jira dashboards so stakeholders can review risk alongside delivery information. Share the same live dashboard in Confluence using Smart Links, avoiding copied charts that quickly become outdated.
