For me it depends on the type of project it is and the environment it is run in. If it's a Manufacturing project I often use the Six Sigma methodology and follow the DMAIC concept because it is more data driven. However, if it's a new manufacturing footprint I would follow the PMBOK process of IPEMC. However, in both instances I have predefined process templates that I generated in my PM software. Many use MS Project I use Merlin/ITask both Mac PM software options that are great for tracking. Weekly meetings with the team clearing roadblocks in an open environment helps ensure the project stays on track. Also choosing the right people for the team, its good to understand tools like MBTI/Insights or Belbin to generate your project team and ensure that you have the right balance of talent to drive the project to fruition.
Being a technical architect who does project managing, Object oriented Design (OOD) and reusability are the first step in the start any of my projects management plan(s) with all its phases and millstones - including project's Calendar, Tracking and Assessment. Second step is the resources allocation which including the workers' talent. I have Project Management Planner Template (which needs updating) which I posted on my personal website as follows:

The best ways to scheduling and resource allocation can be obtained in an environment where mutual exchange of ideas happen. Speak to your team, stakeholders and other key members in the project. This is the best way to derive the intelligent and optimized way for scheduling and resource allocation.
Yes. These includes; When to start a new project, the environment and availability of resources needed. Also choice of human resource will be determined by the type of project at hand, either to employ much of professionals, skilled or unskilled labors.
Scheduling new Project is similar to designing , whenever scheduler has more experience and professional then schedule will be more accurate .
allocation of resources depends on the possibilities of the organization , more than on smart options .
All you need is effective communication and adequate planning. You can not allocate resources when you dont have enough implementation technique to start with. Quantify your project, forecast requirements, engage capable structure and human resources. And also, you need to be on ground - day to day operation planned.
when a project manager authorized to a project and scope was defined, scheduling and resource allocation would be possible.
in a multi phase project or adaptive approaches it might be done step by step, but for a clear environment it is possible, and there are some techniques to make it easier, but in my point of view defining scope as much as detail is very essential. also good communication skills will help.
you can study/take PMP certificate to handover the project management process and control. there are many tools like Microsoft project management gives you easy way to manage your project.
Intelligent options in terms of project scheduling would be utilizing an existing template if you doing similar project again also there are standard templates available. In case of resource allocation a good mix permanent and contract staff is required, the hiring of Contract staff usually depends on the skills/availability of the permanent staff.
