Does anyone have a recommendation on a tool I can use to do "what if" schedules for a project?

E.G. I know the amount of work that needs to be done, but I need to see what the dates would look like with 2 resources, 3, 4, 5, etc..

I'm sure MSProject can do this, but is there anything 'lighter'?

Any recommendations for a book or podcast that's fun but you can also learn from it? Maybe some kind of PM war stories?

I'm a non-technical PM who manages the company's IT department so bonus points if it fits my situation.

no lube so what posted:

Sheeeeit, just got word a MSP contract I�ve been PM�ing under is about to get terminated.

Recently, I�ve been doing sdlc for data science & tooling for a big shop. Closer to program management, since the responsibility also involved strategic architecture to tie in a bunch of systems etc

So I was wondering,

1) what titles should I be searching for besides PM, TPM?
2) any off beat places to search for PM roles?
3) is cramming for the PMP in 8 weeks with a dedicated 30 hours enough to give myself any sort of good odds?

Technical Program Manager, LinkedIn, don't get a PMP, emphasize data science experience, get that bag
