Most facility managers are beginning to think Agile in the application of management of facilities. It is obvious that facility management is more operational than the project, hence do you see Agile improving the facility management industry? Do you support facility managers in acquiring PMI-ACP and do you think it will change their pay pack? Saving Changes...
Adaptive lifecycles might fit a variety of different project domains and agile values, principles and techniques can be adapted to fit as well.
Facilities management work can certainly lend itself to a lean flow type of delivery rather than a sprint-based cadence.
As far as the benefit of a specific certification like the ACP to a given industry, you'd need to check what recruiters for roles in that domain are asking for. My suspicion is that it is not a common requirement, but if you are targeting a company which wishes to "become" agile in its operations work then having "some" agile credential is likely better than none.

Kiron,
Thank you for sharing your thought. Recruiters are really not seeking Agile now in facility management, but Agile is spreading fast an more industry are beginning to adapt to the Agile principles.

In many ways, it is easier to adopt an adaptive approach with your operations than with a project. Operations, by its very nature, is an ongoing, repetitive work. You can set up multi-disciplinary teams, work backlogs and iterations.
I got my ACP in February. I am looking at getting a DA certification but that requires a few courses ($$$). I don't think of certifications as improving my compensation package. I see certifications as opening doors.

Thank you, Stephane, Indeed certification is more of an opening door than mere compensation package.!
