Overview

The Risk Matrix displays a two-dimensional matrix for containing the risks of one or more projects. The matrix is composed of two risk estimates, typically the values of the fields representing impact and probability. Each cell in the matrix shows the number of risks having a given combination of values. For example, the top-right cell would show the count of risks with high impact and high probability. The cells are shaded to indicate the importance of risks for the project. A second mode allows users

The Risk Matrix can also be used to compare changes over time between two matrixes ( using historical data of the Jira issues).

To A Risk Board is mandatory to open a single Risk Matrix or comparison, . From the board’s Risk Register, select Reports.
