It all depends on the project really but either MS Project or Primavera P6, for smaller projects even Excel will do.

MSP is the best for projects following a certain model... Waterfall, Iterfall

For scrum and agile, Jira will be better...

 

If the organization is not looking for tracking, we can also use MS Excel for project planning. FOr complete project management, Word & PowerPoint are essential tools, especially for documentation and status reports/  updates to senior management.

Not a single one, depends on the project scope and budge allocated to the software. For small projects handled by only a person or two, even MS Excel may do the work, but MS Project is surly a better choice. For large enterprise, we may need a set of tools not a single, that may include Primavera. Dot Project, Open Project, Project.net are a good choices in free software. Even SAP can be used for project management to some extent.

Mostly it depends upon project nature, what you want , what you want to control and manage. Such as SAP, Primavera, Pertmaster, Prince 2, MS Project, Risky Project, Pertmaster and even MS Excel and many other softwares but again depends upon the requirement of project.

As a leader, though, you do have the power to take positive actions that will inspire your team to not just survive, but to thrive.

Your employees aren’t just sitting at their desks waiting to be fed. Teach them how to find food for themselves and their morale, focus and commitment will increase exponentially!.

 

Share the success and achievement among the team and let me know there will be rewards or complements at the end of the task or project. Always encourage your team to achieve more success.

Depends upon a company , how it has been handling the projects. 

I would like to recommended, Jira, Asana, Slack, MS Projects and Zoho too.

its not the software that matters, when it comes to project management, instead its the planning engineer or project control manager expertise that matters more.
