Kathy, MS Project is always a good choice for any type of project. There are many other tools, I feel MS Project has best features.

Kathy -

Depends what processes you are trying to automate and what information you want to capture and report on.

Tools like Confluence are a good way to centralize and share structured information whereas others like JIRA are good for team-level work definition and tracking. MS Project is frequently used for scheduling and Excel is often used for cost management.

I've used MS Project for years because it can handle any project situation you throw at it.

For the types of projects you mentioned (which match my experience),

- Jira & Trello for scope management
- MS Project if you need complex coordinated scheduling
- Excel (or Google Sheets) for cost, risk, stakeholder, and quality management
- PowerPoint (or Google Slides) for presentations

If you plan to go above project management (programs, porftolio, PMO) try ITM Platform

There are open-source alternatives, like Project Libre. If you don't mind trying PRINCE2 tools, there is Project-in-a-box.

To complement Project Libre, you can use Office Libre or Open Office for spreadsheets
