Abstract: The purpose of this exploratory study is to examine project management within the framework of a multi-generational workforce. Conducted analysis showed the gap between Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y. The process of socialization of each group, which took place at different time periods, developed in representatives from each of generation different values, skills and approaches to the work. Project manager should understand and distinguish each of the generational perspectives in order to streamline the process of accomplishing tasks in the project. However, project manager should not blindly follow the framework set by the characteristics of the generation and only treat this framework as a signpost to understand each generation. Keywords: Project Management, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, Workers
