There is an consultancy that helps agencies scope projects using some of the tenets of agile software development.

What did you end up doing colossalhead? We're estimating jobs with the PERT system right now and I know we're going to miss things and be banging our heads against the wall in 3 months. For smaller projects we've done lots of it is great, but not large.

Agile is great for development but it's a hard sell when you're telling the client we're not really sure how far we'll get but you'll get something at the end of the sprint cycle. As a client, you want to know what the project is going to cost before you start, with the exception of very large clients with start up values, I think you will still need to quote for the job in most cases but it's worth a shot if you know the client.
- I agree this is a key challenge, and ideally you would want to provide an estimate of the total number of sprints.colossalhead

only works with large clients. sounds like it's fairly similar to using a retainer system.
