Okay, let’s tackle this. So Maynard has 15+ years of experience as an IT project manager, which is a significant amount of time. He’s also got a Master’s degree in Computer Science, which adds to his credibility. Location is the Greater Chicago Area, which is a major hub for tech companies. Project managers with his level of experience and education typically charge higher rates. Maybe around $100–$150 per hour? But considering his expertise in Agile and Scrum, and his experience leading cross-functional teams, I think he could charge more. Some top project managers in this area might average $150–$200 per hour. So I’ll estimate around $125, which is a bit lower but still reflective of his skills and experience.
