Is PRINCE2 worth it? The Crydd Verdict
CS 70Choose it if
You are targeting UK, European, or Commonwealth government and enterprise work, where PRINCE2 is often the named standard.
Consider alternatives if
You are in North America or Asia-Pacific — PMP is the credential employers there ask for.
Why we say so
Very strong recognition inside its geography and near-invisibility outside it; the value depends almost entirely on where you work.
Market demand
PRINCE2's demand is sharply geographic. Where it is the standard, it is often a hard requirement; elsewhere it carries noticeably less weight than PMP.
Where PRINCE2 takes you
