Hi,
Can you please share the metrics PMI uses for the percentage of projects that complete on time? My PMO is baselining our project complete metrics to provide to the State of Wisconsin and would like PMI's experience to weigh in on our decision. Thank you!

You'd need to narrow the query down to get useful benchmarking data.
This includes:
1. Domain or industry of project
2. Nature of project
3. Size of project
4. What is being used to determine "on time" - the absolute project end date, key milestones, or the final significant deliverable?

To add to Kiron's list, I would verify if "on time" is based on the original baseline's project end date, rather than the final baseline's project end date. While project managers declare victory on the latter, it is not unusual for the former to be used by the media. Saving Changes...
I agree with Stéphane. The "On time" metric should be based on the project's original baseline end date, to have a realistic interpretation of Schedule Management results. Saving Changes...

Trying to add something to comments above which are super valuable the point is: which is the goal? Convince somebody? If that then go to the lot of different statistics mainly based on type of solution (or Domain or industry of project as @Kiron stated) and take one of them could help you. Saving Changes...
