Getting started with Risk Manager is designed to be smooth and straightforward. You don’t need complex setups or long onboarding.
Steps to Install Risk Manager
Go to Atlassian Marketplace
Open the Atlassian Marketplace and search for Risk Manager.
Click “Try it for free”
With a single click, Jira will add Risk Manager to your instance.
No technical overhead, no downtime.
Access Risk Manager in Jira
Once installed, open Risk Manager in either of these ways:
From the top navigation: Apps → Risk Manager. This opens the Quick Start page.
From a space: open the space and click Risk Manager in the space navigation. If it isn't shown there, look under More. Then pick a page at the top right: Risk Matrix, Configuration or Table View.
Why This Matters
We know teams don’t have time for long IT rollouts. Risk Manager is built with simplicity at its core:
No extra integrations required
No separate database setup or maintenance
Runs inside Jira’s security and permission model
With just a few clicks, your team can move from scattered spreadsheets and ad‑hoc risk logs to a centralized, Jira-native risk management process – without leaving Jira.
Quick Start page
The Quick Start page (Apps → Risk Manager) is the starting point for all your spaces:
Recent spaces: cards for your 4 most recently viewed spaces. Click Start Configuring on a card to open its Risk Manager configuration.
Open another project…: the list at the top right, next to the recent spaces. Use it to find and open any other space.
Configuration access: choose who can change the Risk Manager settings of a space (see below).
Configuration access
Jira admins, project admins and the project lead can always change the Risk Manager configuration of a space. They can also give other people or groups access to it:
Open the Quick Start page (Apps → Risk Manager).
In Configuration access, select the space under Project.
In Give access, search for people or groups and select them.
Click Give access.
Everyone with access is listed under Also have access. To take access away, click Remove next to the person or group and confirm.
People without access can still view the Risk Matrix and Table View, but the Configuration page shows Editing is restricted.
