Having trouble explaining MVP? Try the slap technique.
In a meeting with people who still don't get the MVP concept, regardless of how many different ways you try explain it? Try this approach instead:
- Simulate a big bang release by slapping said person(s) with your whole hand
- Then explain you're going to now simulate MVP by slapping them with one finger and for them to note the reduction in pain endured
- Then slap them with two
- Then slap them with three
- Then stop and say that you're not going to slap them any more because you've found that it's hurting your fingers, you're getting sweaty AND they now seem to have gotten the message
- Bask in your success
p.s. Happy April Fools, don't get upset.

5 年I've been using this teaching method for a few years now. We did have to stop using metal gauntlets, but I think the point still gets across!
