Hiring

Workroom Productions is a one-man company, so you'll always be dealing with me, James Lyndsay. When you book me, you get me.

Speaking and teaching engagements tend to be booked several months in advance, and are often outside the UK. In some circumstances, I can extend trips - tell me where you are, and I'll let you know when I'm likely to be nearby.

Consultancy: flexible arrangements, from a half-day at a time, to several days a week. Price dependent on work.

Testing: I take on occasional interesting short-term projects, at rates equivalent to a good contractor. Limited availability, rarely more than 2 days a week.

Training:

An online session is a 40-45 minute workshop with 15-20 minutes Q&A, for up to 25 people.

  • Short online workshop: £490 / €590,
  • Linked online sessions: £1450 for three, £2750 for six, £4900 for 12.
  • Asynch online sessions: £1190 / €1390 for materials to cover 2-3 hours self-directed learning followed by an hour's facilitated conversation online.
  • In-person 2-day workshops for a class of 4-12 people start at £4900. I offer one-day workshops from £2750, half-day classes from £1500. See courses.
  • My exploratory testing workshops are popular, and work well as a 2-day techniques workshop followed by a day focussed on managing ET. I charge these three days in person at a specially reduced rate of £7000.

Mentoring: Six months unlimited phone access: £3000. Very limited availability.

Speaking: One hour including Q+A, £1000 for a room of up to 300 people. See talks for content.


How do you know you'll get value for money? Jerry Weinberg (as ever) puts it best. Here's my summary: If you don't get value for money, we'll adjust our relationship until you do. I don't take on work where I can't add more value than my fee - if I make that mistake, you won't be paying for it.

Note: Prices exclude VAT and expenses. I add travel at cost. For workshops that need me to travel outside London, add £100. If I need to travel on a different day, then travel + accommodation + £200 per travel day.
