新西兰的信息和通信技术（ICT）产业正在迅速发展。传统的大学课程准备的毕业生人数不足以维持增长。许多传统的研究生缺乏在基于团队的软件开发中非常重要的关键软技能。本文报道了软件开发硕士学位转换的发展。学生都是很少或没有计算机科学学位的毕业生，教授关键的编程技能，重点是敏捷开发。该计划开始通过解决问题专注于个人编程技能。后来的工业合作伙伴通过向敏捷的学生团队提供工业问题来参与。工业合作伙伴是敏捷团队中的积极合作伙伴，作为产品所有者。通过解决问题，学生发展技术和非技术技能，同时利用从以前的研究中获得的技能。该方案第一年的成果令人鼓舞。一个关键的结果是，大量学生在毕业前找到了有偿IT职位的工作。第一年的主要问题是同时引入太多的主题，过度评估，沟通和接触时间不够，学生没有机会自己体验，在错误中学习。该方案已改变为下一年/的队列引入较少的主题一次，提供学习的时间和空间，并重新设计调度评估。
The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry in New Zealand is growing rapidly. The traditional university courses are preparing an insufficient number of graduates to sustain the growth. Many of the traditional graduate students lack key soft skills that are important in team based software development. This paper reports on the development of a conversion Master of Software Development degree. The students are all graduates with little or no computer science degrees, are taught key programming skills, with a focus on agile development. The programme begins by focusing on individual programming skills through solving problems. Later industrial partners are engaged by providing industrial problems to agile teams of students. The industrial partners are active partners in the agile teams as product owners. By solving the problems, the students develop both technical and non-technical skills while utilizing the skills obtained from previous studies. The results from the first year of the programme are encouraging. A key result is that a high number of students found work in paid IT positions before graduating. The main issue of the first year was introducing too many topics at the same time, over-assessment, not enough communication and contact time, little opportunity for the students to make their own experiences, and learning by making mistakes. The programme has been changed for the next year/s cohort to introduce less topics at once, provide time and space for learning, and a redesign of scheduling assessments.
