I'm a project manager, and this is the very best tool that I have, save my computer. It's elegant...none of this cheapo ring binder look in a high-profile meeting, where image can be important. Plus, the gridline paper lets me take notes and make accurate drawings, either one. The place marker shows me where I am, and the elastic band keeps it from flying open. Plus the little pouch in the back gives me a place to store business cards in a pinch. What a great tool. I buy three or four at a time, lest I run out.
