Use Smart Values for Jira to Create a Risk Register

Here at Thinkando, in our Jira training sessions, we are often asked how to perform automated tasks in Jira. Up until recently, this was only possible by purchasing a third-party app. Now, if you use Jira Cloud, you have free access to Automation for Jira. We love this application; it’s so powerful, easy to implement, and incredibly useful. Recently Atlassian solved so many of our customers’ configuration requests in one excellent release. Smart Values for Automation for Jira are going to support and extend your use of Jira exponentially. That’s why we’re so excited to present this short and informative training video for you. We’ll look at calculating fields in Jira using Smart Values to create a risk register in Jira. 

Use Custom Charts for Jira to monitor and inform

Once we’ve set up the risk register, how can we monitor and keep the team informed of our risks so that they can manage them? We use the superb Custom Charts for Jira to easily monitor our risk register with useful, beautiful, and easy to use charts. This is an excellent example use-case of Jira that you can start using straight away.
