What should I do if I want to get better at the business side of things in IT and more into IT project or IT product management? What classes or certs can help with taking about those skills? Or like a GRC program management

The certifications you might want to investigate would be Certified Scrum Master, Project Management Professional, or Certified Product Owner. You can look up classes for those. It's a good career shift you've got in mind, and it would be helpful to try to network as much as possible and talk to people in those areas.

Create projects internally or volunteer to help shadow or be a scrum master. You need marketable experience in addition to the certs before someone will take your application seriously
