Risk Manager & Risk Manager Plus apps on Atlassian Marketplace

The Risk Manager has been available on Jira Cloud for several years already whereas the Risk Manager Plus has only recently been released on Jira Cloud having been available earlier only to self-hosted Jira users.

The Risk Manager was originally built for medical device risk management and today it incorporates the functionality for product, project and security risks.

The Risk Manager Plus is a more advanced app meeting various risk management process requirements. Thanks to the full customisability of the risk assessment model, risk evaluation method and risk spreadsheet (with several sheets), you can easily manage all your product, project and organisational risks with the app. The Risk Manager Plus is developed for the most advanced risk management needs of the safety-critical industries as well as for a wide variety of organisational risk management needs including RAID.
