Best tried-and-true Microsoft collaboration tools for cross-functional teams?

My company is tied to Microsoft. As much as I loved Airtable at my previous job, it's a no-go here. I'm currently looking at Lists, Whiteboard and Project. Any tried-and-true tools that have worked for cross-functional teams that are able to: assign tasks via Address Book, track progress, take notes, etc.

Thanks!

Maybe a combo of Project and OneNote? Otherwise if outside tools are up for discussion- SmartSheet is powerful.

Look into MS Loop - to see if it offers what you need. Folks in my org have recently started using it for certain project reviews but it hasn't gone widespread yet, so I'm unclear if it would be a good overall PjM tool.
If outside tools are available, I recommend WorkFront and SmartSheet. Create tasks and subtasks, assign owners, collaborate with notes/chatboard (WF), review workflows (WF), and create dashboards to show progress and status.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
