Risk Register for JIRA Jira Server lets you specify the general treatment approach that you intend to take: Accept, Avoid, Mitigate, Transfer; and gives you a space to record some details about your treatment plan in plain text. In addition to your plain-text treatment description, you might also like to track the individual activities that comprise your treatment plan.

5. Click Link.

You'll now have a bi-directional link between the new treatment task and the risk that it treats. Navigating back to the risk, you'll see the linked treatment:
