Okay, let’s calculate this. So Elaine has 15+ years of experience in IT project management and service management, which is a solid foundation. She has experience working with ITIL, which is a widely adopted framework. Location is Mason, Ohio, which is a suburb of Cincinnati. According to national averages, IT project managers with her experience can charge between $75-$125 per hour. However, considering her expertise in IT service management and process improvement, I’ll estimate her rate to be on the higher end of that range. Maybe around $85 per hour, considering she’s delivering high-value services to clients.
