+=====================
+Project Specfications
+=====================
+
+Specifications in this repository represent a consensus on the topics covered
+within.  They should be considered a mandate on the path forward with regards
+to the content on which they are drafted.
+
+Purpose
+-------
+
+A specification should precede any broad-reaching technical changes or proposals
+to OpenStack-Helm.  Examples of changes requiring a specification include:  a
+standard format to the values.yaml files, multiple backend support for neutron,
+and the approach for logging and monitoring in OpenStack-Helm.  Some additional
+features will not need an accompanying specification, but may be tied back to an
+existing specification.  An example of this would be introducing a service in
+OpenStack-Helm that could be included under the scope of a specification already
+drafted and approved.
+
+Process
+-------
+
+Before drafting a specification, a blueprint should be filed in Launchpad_ along
+with any dependencies the blueprint requires.  Once the blueprint has been
+registered, submit the specification as a patch set to the specs/ directory
+using the supplied template.
+
+More information about the blueprint + specification lifecycle can be found
+here_.
