The primary purpose of Check Risks is to help project managers and developers identify and mitigate risks stemming from outdated, unmaintained, or poorly managed dependencies. By integrating this directly into Jira Cloud, the app allows you to track the state of dependencies in real-time, visualize risk levels, and take preventative actions to keep your project on track.
The app focuses specifically on GitHub-hosted repositories, using public data to assess repository health and transforming this information into clear risk indicators directly inside Jira.
Use Cases
Track Technical Debt from Outdated Dependencies
As your project evolves, dependencies can become outdated or no longer maintained. Check Risks helps you spot these risks early by analyzing GitHub repositories and providing clear risk levels in Jira. This helps ensure that your project doesn’t rely on legacy code or unsupported dependencies, preventing security vulnerabilities and broken features in the future.
Monitor Risk Levels and Prioritize Fixes
By visualizing risks such as low commit frequency, inactive repositories, and high issue counts, teams can prioritize addressing the most critical dependencies. Check Risks adds to your Jira issue reliable dependency status, helping teams focus on what matters most and reduce the chances of unexpected technical debt.
Prevent Dependency-Related Security Issues
Many vulnerabilities arise from dependencies that aren't regularly updated or maintained. With Check Risks, teams can track which dependencies have potential risks like security flaws, and immediately address them before they escalate. This is particularly useful for security-conscious teams who want to proactively manage their project's health.
