This is a causal loop diagram trying to show the effects of constant management approval on time, creativity and frustration. Ultimately nothing gets implemented because the process of doing it drains the organisation of the will to do it :-) (I think)

A simple model of a PID controller, controlling a valve refilling a leaky water tank.

In the scenario, at T=10 minutes, a faucet is opened for one minute, draining the tank. There's also a constant amount of leakage from the tank at all times.

The best way to play with the PID controller parameters is to click "Simulate", then click on the "map pin"-shaped icon on the simulation results, which will link the graphs to the model. Without closing the graphs, one can now drag the parameter sliders and see the graphs change.
