Brittany, I wrote a small book, maybe more of a handbook, on my experiences as an independent/contract IT PM over the last 20 years. It's called Smart Contracting for Program Managers, Project Managers, and Scrum Masters and you can find it on Amazon. I hope it helps. Saving Changes...

As an engineering manager (telecoms) I was already responsible for managing PMs and contracts. However I felt I needed to learn the PM techniques to improve my general management skills. By doing this and obtaining P2 and PMP it opened other employment opportunities for me with old and new contacts. I continue to work in a technical environment but have a greater scope of roles to chose from as the PM skills are generic whereas my engineering skills are in a particular discipline.
