I've worked in the pharmaceutical industry (talk about controlled) for 28 years and have never come across PRINCE2. PMI is widely used.

The software industry has completely moved away from waterfall approaches like PRINCE2 and largely embraced Agile methodologies. Agile may not be perfect (especially when not implemented properly) but it's 1000x better than waterfall.

Looking at the Prince2 Wikipedia page I don't see anything that says waterfall. It looks to me Prince2 is a project management method where waterfall / agile /scrum are implementation management methods. IMHO Prince2 can be applied to agile/scrum projects without any problem. No matter the implementation management method, there has to be input to determine priorities which is where Prince2 seems to provide answers.
