I want to learn more about PM as a field, and hopefully learn some things I can apply to my current role. Does anyone have any books to recommend for this?

PMP (or in your case likely CAPM?) is great for learning the PM knowledge framework - it logically ties all the pieces together.

good points from @SP1. CAPM is also a much lighter lift in terms of time and expense than PMP. If you're looking for books (here come more acronyms), The PMP (Project Management Professional) designation is given from PMI (Project Management Institute). Their main content is (or at least was) The Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK).

The way PM is practiced varies greatly by and within industries. There's a lot to be gained by learning about Agile / Scrum.

Although, I find it a bit anemic now, years ago I posted a few things in a blog for PMs in the marketing/advertising world - pm2pm.blogspot.com

When a new type of project comes in and you get assigned as the PM to “figure out” the project plan, how do you go about resource allocation? Sometimes I struggle to know what the team configuration should even be, because we’ve never done said project type before. It’s hard to know what type of people should be assigned, and at what % time, when there isn’t a preexisting process or work breakdown structure for the deliverables I’m being handed to “manage.” How do/would you handle?
