Is anyone here working as a program manager/project manager in the aviation industry and find the PMI-ACP knowledge (and certificate) helpful?

I was told that this certificate relies more in software. Just wanted to hear everyone's feedback about this.

Thanks!

I can't comment on the aviation industry applicability, but agile principles and even specific practices are being utilized in nearly all industries.

The ACP does draw on a lot of information related to the Manifesto and methodologies like Scrum and XP which are software development focused, but it also covers behaviors and competencies that would apply to any type of project.

I'm not aware of any other agile credentials which are more domain neutral than the ACP - all the Scrum and agile scaling ones I'm aware of are very technology-focused.

I have no opportunity. But let me say that I have participated into a one week workshop performed by Scrum creator related his last book where all the examples and case of study was on using Scrum in the project that created the new combat aircraf for the USA:

Agility in general is not only sets of methods, tools, artifacts and roles... is the way teams think, work and behave... collaboration is a key success factor, no matter what industry a project is performed in.

Agile is used more with software, but it does not have to be so. It can and is used in all kinds of industries.

I know is not the same but I have used it into geostationary-satellite construction (software and hardware) Perhaps it helps as a comment. While Agile is not about a method/software/IT/process the PMI-ACP is still a software oriented application into Agile environments certification today.
