Overview

The Risk Matrix displays a two-dimensional matrix 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 risks for the project.

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

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

The operations of the Risk Matrix are explained in the table below.
