Overview

The Risk Matrix displays a two-dimensional matrix for 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 number of risks with high impact and high probability. The cells are shaded to indicate the importance for the project.

To open a Risk Matrix, take one of the following steps:

• If the matrix is for an individual project:

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

  • Select Reports and the name of a matrix under the list of matrices.

• If the matrix is for multiple projects gathered together in a Risk Board:

  • 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.

  • Select Reports and the name of a matrix under the list of matrices.
