Atlas Orbital, a fictional rocket company, takes Flight 8’s risks to its board. Eight short chapters, one agenda item each.

Chapters

A risk matrix of your own

Name your own probability, impact and risk levels, say what each one means, and choose the level every pair gives. Every rating in the space follows the same scale.

A risk matrix of your own

Every risk in one register

Each risk is a Jira work item, rated before and after treatment. Find them with a quick search, JQL or a saved filter, rate them right in the grid, and add any Jira field as a column.

Every risk in one register

Reports the board can read

Heat maps of initial and residual risk show what treatment changed. Before-and-after charts, risk change over time and a breakdown by any metric fill in the rest.

I was attempting to make some config changes to the app, which proved difficult with the rollout of Jira's new UI. Support from Payal was second to none, he logged on at 10pm US time to accommodate my different timezone and clearly took me through the steps required to achieve my desired result. Very happy with the service.

Great app and very recommended!!! I find very useful the new feature to restrict Risk register panel for certain issue types. Thank you for this funcionality. Support team is also very good and fast! I have requested some adjustments in the app and they resolved it very quickly!!

Questions

Do risks need a work type of their own?

No. Any work item can be rated, so a risk can sit beside the work that treats it. Many teams add a Risk work type and save a view of it as the register’s default.

Can we use our own risk matrix?

Yes. Name up to 15 probability, impact and risk levels, describe each one, give each risk level its colour, and choose the level every pair of probability and impact gives.

Does it track residual risk?

Yes. Every risk is rated twice: before treatment and after it. The initial and residual heat maps and charts show what the treatment changed.

Can I find risks with JQL?

Yes. In company-managed spaces, initial and residual probability, impact and risk are Jira fields, so filters and JQL such as "Residual Risk" in (High, Extreme) find them across spaces.

Can I see who changed a rating?

Yes. Each work item’s Risk Register History lists every change to its ratings, who made it and when, with the old and new values.

Where is the data stored?

Risk Register runs on Atlassian Forge with no outside servers, so ratings and settings stay in your Jira site.
