We introduce the notion of projective generator on a given Banach space. Weakly countably determined and dual spaces with the Radon Nikodým property have projective generators. If a Banach space has projective generator, then it admits a projective resolution of the identity. When a Banach space and its dual both have a projective generator then the space admits a shrinking resolution of the identity. These results include previous ones of Amir and Lindenstrauss, John and Zizler, Gul’ko, Vaak, Tacon, Fabian, and Godefroy; and they show how to deal with the general problem of constructing projections and ordering them into a long sequence in a unified way.
