The digital era has profoundly transformed project management practices, creating both opportunities and challenges for professionals across diverse age groups and experience levels. This study investigates how technological advancements, including virtual collaboration tools, real-time data analytics, and artificial intelligence, influence the effectiveness of project management and decision-making. A survey-based methodology was employed, collecting responses from participants representing varied age cohorts and levels of professional experience. Data analysis focused on perceptions of the benefits of digital tools for enhancing collaboration, optimizing resources, improving forecasting accuracy, and improving overall project outcomes. The findings reveal that younger professionals and those with less experience generally perceive greater advantages from digital integration, demonstrating higher satisfaction with the efficacy of contemporary project management methods. In contrast, older and more experienced participants tend to offer more cautious or moderate evaluations, reflecting nuanced insights shaped by extensive professional practice. Overall, the study highlights the positive role of digital technologies in promoting cross-functional collaboration, informed decision-making, and creativity within project teams. These results underscore the importance of adopting hybrid approaches that combine traditional project management principles with digital innovations to optimize outcomes. The research provides practical implications for organizations seeking to implement technology-driven project management strategies while considering the diverse perspectives and adaptability of their workforce.
