PRINCE2 is an acronym for Projects in Controlled Environments.  

In 1989, the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA), UK started using PROMPT II as a UK Government standard for IT projects. It was then nicknamed as PRINCE for PROMPT II IN the CCTA Environment. Later in 1996, a general project management methodology named PRINCE2 was released that had themes and processes. 

PRINCE2 is a project management methodology that helps the project managers in delivering projects in the given time and budget. It involves dividing the project and tasks into small stages. It focuses on product deliveries instead of activities.  

Originally, this methodology was developed as a standard for IT projects by the UK government. Today, this methodology is used for different projects by different industries across both private and public sectors. 

AXELOS is the governing body of PRINCE2 that conducts training and provides certification. 

There are no specific figures for the number of certified PRINCE2 Project managers in the world.
