Research proves that effective, competent project managers are a critical factor in the success of any project endeavor.  The NASA Academy of Program and Project Leadership recently designed Project Mirror, a third generation assessment and development center.  Project Mirror is a new way of thinking about developing NASA senior level project managers.  Project Mirror is designed to measure and assess project management competence on many different levels, through a series of experiential activities coupled with robust feedback instruments.  Mr. Suda elaborated on his experience with Project Mirror and provided insight into this new way of thinking in developing project managers.
