Overview

The Risk Register is a list of the risks and associated measures facing one or more projects. The risks are presented in a table with one row per risk. The rows can be expanded to show tables of the associated measures with one row per measure. Risks and measures can be quickly created.

A Risk Board is mandatory to open a Risk Register. To navigate to one, take one of the following steps:

  • Go to the project and select the menu item Risk Management in the left panel and select the board by name.

  • Select the Risks entry in the Jira main navigation bar and select the board by name. If the board’s name does not appear under Recent Boards, then select View All Boards and select the board from that list.

The operations to manage risks in the Risk Register are explained in the table below.
