The question

I served in a logistics role where I used some agile-like concepts to manage operations. Does PMI accept this kind of experience? It wasn't 'software development' in the traditional sense, but it was definitely iterative and responsive to change. Would this qualify?

Verified summary

PMI accepts non-software project experience for the PMI-ACP certification as long as the applicant can demonstrate the application of agile principles, practices, and iterative processes within their professional history.

Yes, PMI absolutely accepts non-software experience provided you can demonstrate that the projects were iterative and collaborative. The PMI-ACP application is agnostic regarding industry; it cares only that you can map your logistics work to the core agile domains defined in the Examination Content Outline.
