As said above, PRINCE2 isn't a project management certification, just a certification for a framework. The framework brings certain advantages for large organisations such as standardised approach, templates, progress reporting, risks, issues logs etc.

Your negative statements about project managers don't necessarily apply to the framework because sponsors need information, not data. It helps them if the information is in a format they recognise, and at a time they understand the significance of.

Very sensible attitude. This thread has reminded me that my Practitioner cert expired 2 months back, I don't think I'll bother renewing.
