George -

The one that gets the job done most effectively and efficiently :-)

Seriously though, I'd be hard pressed to pick one as it depends on the context of what I'm doing.

I do like tools like EMV, EVM which survived the transition to the sixth edition, but also the late lamented ones like CCPM and Pareto charts...

The tool or technique more adapted to the need.

EVM is one

Oh this is a good question. I end up using software solutions that simulate a lot of these techniques - have never really had cause to go outside the software framework.

I believe the most powerful tool is the EVA (Earned Value Analysis). It is a nice way of expressing a complex project into a single set of curves that informs about the progress and helps you make decisions.
