Default Usage of "most" and "the most"

Could somebody explain how to use these words in sentences and what is the difference between them?

For example in sentences like that (but not only):

Joanne is the most intelligent person I know.
Joanne is most intelligent person I know (it`s incorrect I suppose)

The department needs three more computers in order to work most effectively
The department needs three more computers in order to work the most effectively


Thank you
