Working With the Best in the World

Organizations worldwide rely on Optimizory apps to run their work inside Jira.

What Risk Manager does

A complete risk register, built from your Jira work items.

Assess, visualize, trace and re-assess risks where the work already happens - no spreadsheets, no separate tool, no data leaving Jira.

Risk Matrix

See every project risk on one color-coded grid.

A Probability × Severity matrix shows how many risks sit in each cell, so high-concentration and critical areas jump out immediately. Click any cell to open the exact work items behind it.

  • Risk count per Probability–Severity cell
  • Drill down from any cell to its work items
  • Edit risk values in-line, synced back to Jira

Risk Traceability Table

Trace each risk to its mitigation and verification.

One project-level table lists every risk with its linked work items - grouped by link type - so you can see what mitigates a risk, what it blocks, and where coverage is missing.

  • Columns per Jira link type (Blocks, Clones and more)
  • Record post-mitigation values to track residual risk
  • Format rules highlight overdue, blocked or unassigned risks

Custom Risk Levels

Assess risk your way - not the tool's way.

Define probability and severity options, the number of risk levels, their labels and colors, and how they map to your Jira fields. Risk Manager calculates the level automatically.

  • Configurable probability and severity scales
  • Auto-calculated risk levels from your matrix
  • Fits your organization's risk methodology

Customer success stories

Trusted by teams using Optimizory apps

What customers say about our Jira apps and support on the Atlassian Marketplace.

Links Explorer

“This app is easy to view the Link relationships between Jira work items, especially the traceability report. I like this app design.”

Yong YangAtlassian Solution Consultant, Hangzhou Cloze Technology
Links Explorer

“Sent a request in for support and it was solved within hours, great product.”

David StoddardSenior Project Manager, L3Harris
RMsis

“The Optimizory support team were superb in providing us with prompt and helpful responses to our request for support (despite the time zone difference)!”

Zayn FojdarMultidisciplinary Scrum Master, Ultra Maritime
Links Explorer

“Being able to see up and down the chain of linked tickets has helped our users keep better track of their data relationship. Being able to easily jump to related tickets that are removed by 3 layers is so helpful. The tech support is amazing, they make sure you are taken care of.”

Links Explorer

“Managing large or complex projects in Jira can be overwhelming. Links Explorer helped us to break down complex projects into several manageable chunks specially the tree view, which makes it easy to identify dependencies and potential bottlenecks, leading us to improve our efficiency and project delivery.”

Ankit NegiSoftware Engineer, Suzuki Digital Private Limited
Links Explorer

“Vendor's support works very well - colleagues were keen to debug the issue in few live sessions (despite the fact that it seemed to be instance-specific issue) and to prepare improved plugin version that is proofed from further issues of that kind. Big thanks!”

Stanisław BiałowąsLinks Explorer customer
RMsis

“This is a very great product, engaged with JIRA closely, we can track the whole life cycle from requirement input, finalized to PRD, design tasks to implement it, test cases to verify, everyone in project can get a clear picture for the current status of requirement. Another important thing is the prompt and great technical support, really appreciate their professional support knowledge and skill, a quick and direct debug way via remote session is very helpful to resolve field issues, not only for one-time, each support is prompt and great!!”

Eason WangRMsis customer
RMsis

“This is a great product. We have over 70 users registered and live requirements data is also available online (intranet) using Confluence and JIRA. Projects with several thousand requirements are handled with ease. I started with v1.7.8 in 2014, having used early DOORS versions before that. All feature requests and bug reports have been received with enthusiasm by the technical support team and responded to promptly. I feel privileged to have contributed to its development. The spreadsheet-style presentation of data helps to make the user interface intuitive. Editing single requirements and sets is straightforward with useful bulk operations. For requirements analysis, maximum use is made of selectable field types for easy manipulation and review.”

Richard CurtisRMsis customer
RMsis

“Great product and great support...! We wanted a JIRA integrated requirements management tool that provided traceability and reporting throughout the development and test cycle and RMsis gave us exactly what we wanted. Some might think the UI is a bit 'spreadsheety', but in our organisation, this was actually a benefit providing familiarity for our users to begin using it with. We have made good use of the API and now have our automated tests updating RMsis giving us complete lifecycle tracking. Also for us, the fact it uses it own standalone database and doesn't follow the standard JIRA user license model, made procurement in a large organisation like ours much easier. We intend to use it on more projects in the near future.... Well done team, keep up the good work..!”

Simon OfficerRMsis customer
RMsis

“simply a great plugin + requirements great - even larger amounts (2000+) are handled smoothly + requirements great - create your own custom fields + quality great - I have not found a bug after two month + support wonderful - quick reply with all information, no email ping pong with typical nonsense questions - downside, more rich text options in requirement explanation would be great - downside, test cases have potential (link to versions and input) Great plugin, I would recommend it”

lesswire GmbHRMsis customer
RMsis

“I love this plugin. Installation is very easy, configuration is so simple and traceability is now well done with requirements, issue and test case. Some things are missed yet but Optimizory Technologies is very open and they answer everytime I suggested a feature, an improvement or a bug...and it's so nice to see our suggestions in a release.”

Mickael ThieventRMsis customer

“Really nice product - especially like the reports on the project page.”

FAQ

Risk Manager is a Jira Cloud app that turns your Jira work items into an assessed risk register. It scores each risk by probability and severity, shows the project on a color-coded Risk Matrix, and traces every risk to its mitigation and verification work.

You define the probability and severity options and map each combination to a risk level (with its own label and color). Risk Manager then calculates the level automatically for every risk work item.

Yes. Record post-mitigation probability and severity values to re-assess each risk and see the residual risk once controls are in place.
