Hi @Kianoosh Alesheikh!

You may try ActivityTimeline which helps to get a comprehensive picture of resources' allocation and workload across multiple projects.

Check out our blog post - How to get a cross-project view for shared resources in Jira, which describes these features extensively, or discover more info on the Atlassian Marketplace!

Hello @Kianoosh Alesheikh 

Shared resources are always tricky and must be effectively understood as to how they are contributing to various projects.! 

Check this add-on -- it's called AIM Resource planning for Jira
