Risk Matrix
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. In the Risk Register, select Reports and take one of the following steps:
Single Matrix: Select the name of a matrix under the list of matrices.
Comparison: In the menu entry that contains the name of a matrix followed by the word “Comparison”, select the name of the matrix followed by the word “inline“ or “side-by-side“.
The operations of the Risk Matrix are explained in the table below.
