For example, a product strategy workshop might have the objective to identify the key changes required to achieve product-market fit.

As the person in charge of the product, you may not be terribly concerned about how clean and well-structured the code is. The messier the code and the less modular the architecture is, the longer it takes and the more expensive it is to change your product.
