Jira Automation

Risk Management can be automated with Jira automation. One use case can be to do an automatic risk assessment when the user a assigns a Risk label to an issue. Another to calculate probabilities based on two dedicated custom fields such as P1*P2 = P. This is not a comprensive guide to Jira automation instead focus is on risk assessment.

Example - Risk assessment when user adds Risk label to issue

This use case requires a few basic issue automation steps and then two dedicated risk steps. Please see below for the risk automation steps.

Open

Step 1 show the risk widget in the Jira issue screen (optional)

Add below property value to the property key: com.boja.riskregister.addon_boja-risk-issue-content

Open

Step 2 risk assessment in the issue by assigning values to the editable risk custom fields assigned to project

As highlighted above the prerequisite for this step is to create risk custom fields, assign them to the risk registers risk model and then assign the risk custom fields to the project issue screens (more info).

Create an “Edit issue“ action and select the risk custom fields e.g Inherent probability and Inherent impact with their values. If the risk custom fields are not selectable, they are either not created or not assigned to project issue screens.
