Managing Risk Matrices
Overview
The Risk Matrix displays a two-dimensional matrix for the risks of one or more projects. The configuration of a matrix defines two risk estimates and their range of values. Typically, these are the values of fields representing risk impact and probability. Using a color-coded scheme, each cell within the matrix represents a given risk level, indicating the significance of the risks with those values. Risk levels can be configured according to the needs of the organization.
To manage matrices for Risks Schemes:
Go to
status:Data Center Jira navigation > Risks > Risk Schemes.
status:CLOUDJira navigation > Apps > easeRisk for Jira > Risk Schemes.
Select Edit for the desired scheme.
Select Risk Matrix tab.
To manage matrices for Risk Boards:
Go to
status:Data CenterJira navigation > Risks.
status:CLOUDJira navigation > Apps > easeRisk for Jira.
Select any board to load.
Select Configure > Risk Matrix tab.
