The ALMA Design Reference Science Plan (DRSP) grew out of the need to have a detailed view of what the first 3-4 years of full ALMA operations will look like. Based on the projects that astronomers will want to carry out with high priority, ALMA's development can be optimised. For example, ALMA's specifications can be tested for realistic scenarios, or plans can be made regarding which configurations or frequency bands to commission with high priority. The DRSP can also be used to determine observing strategies, data rates, and use-cases. Finally, and most crucially, the impact on the science (and ALMA's primary Science Drivers) from any changes in specifications can be quantitatively assessed.
