+Project Specific Value
+----------------------
+The ``projects`` key can be used to specify project specific configurations,
+the supported configurations on a project wide basis are listed here.
+
+
+Artifact Server
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The artifact server is usually specified by the project you build, but
+it can be overridden on a per project basis using the same format
+:ref:`described here <project_essentials_artifacts>`.
+
+**Example**
+
+.. code:: yaml
+
+ projects:
+ project-name:
+ artifacts:
+ pull-url: https://artifacts.com
+ push-url: artifacts@artifacts.com:artifacts
+ push-port: 443
+
+
+Strict Build Plan
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The strict build plan option decides whether you want elements
+to rebuild when their dependencies have changed. This is enabled
+by default, but recommended to turn off in developer scenarios where
+you might want to build a large system and test it quickly after
+modifying some low level component.
+
+
+**Example**
+
+.. code:: yaml
+
+ projects:
+ project-name:
+ strict: False
+
+
+.. note::
+
+ It is always possible to override this at invocation time using
+ the ``--strict`` and ``--no-strict`` command line options.
