What is Risk AI Agent?
Risk AI Agent is an AI-powered assistant available through Atlassian Rovo. It analyzes Jira and Planyway planning data to help you understand whether your projects, sprints, and teams are on track.
Unlike a basic deadline check, Risk Agent considers actual team availability and workload when evaluating potential risks.
How to open Risk AI Agent
Open Atlassian Rovo.
Select Planyway Risk Agent from the list of available agents.
Start a conversation by asking a question about your project, sprint, or team.
The agent uses information from Jira and Planyway to analyze your request.
What does Risk Agent analyze?
Risk Agent considers several factors when evaluating delivery risks.
Project timelines
Reviews scheduled work and deadlines to identify tasks or milestones that may be at risk.
Team capacity
Checks whether team members have enough available working hours to complete their assigned work.
Remaining estimates
Considers how much effort is still required to finish planned tasks.
Workload across projects
Accounts for commitments from multiple projects rather than evaluating each project independently.
Working schedules
Considers individual working hours and custom workload schemes.
Vacations and holidays
Accounts for planned time off, non-working days, and public holidays that reduce team availability.
Sprint information
Evaluates sprint timelines and planned work to identify potential delivery problems.
Identify delivery risks
Ask Risk Agent to review your project and highlight work that may not be completed on time.
For example:
"Is our project on track?"
"What delivery risks should I pay attention to this week?"
"Which milestones are at risk?"
Risk Agent evaluates available planning information and explains the factors contributing to potential risks.
Review team workload
You can use Risk Agent to identify resource bottlenecks.
Try asking:
"Who is overloaded this week?"
"Which team members have available capacity?"
"Is there enough capacity to complete our planned work?"
This helps you identify potential resource problems without manually reviewing every person's workload.
Analyze sprint health
Risk Agent can help you assess upcoming sprint delivery.
For example:
"Will we finish this sprint on time?"
"Which sprint issues are most likely to slip?"
"What are the biggest risks in the current sprint?"
The agent considers sprint timelines, remaining effort, and team capacity when analyzing delivery risk.
Understand why work is at risk
Risk Agent doesn't just identify potential problems. It also explains what contributes to them.
For example, a task may appear to be scheduled before its due date, but the assigned team member could have:
A planned vacation.
A reduced working schedule.
Too many other tasks assigned.
Insufficient available hours to complete the remaining work.
Risk Agent can use this information to explain why the deadline may be difficult to meet.
Prioritize risks
Once you've identified potential problems, ask Risk Agent which ones need the most attention.
Example questions:
"What should I fix first?"
"Which issue has the highest impact?"
"What actions would reduce project risk?"
Use these insights to decide whether to redistribute work, adjust schedules, or review project commitments.
Important: Risk Agent provides AI-generated assessments based on available planning data. Its findings should support project decisions, not replace them. Review significant risks against current project information before taking action.
