GFEBS Stands Up GFEBS Dev Mod Program

The Program Manager General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) hosted an Assumption of Charter ceremony June 15 welcoming Daniel Kitts, the new Product Director GFEBS Development and Modernization (DEV MOD).

With the new program, GFEBS continues to evolve to meet the Army's financial management needs and provide an auditable business solution.

“GFEBS DEV/MOD is the baseline for GFEBS,” said COL Matt Russell, GFEBS project manager, in his remarks at the ceremony. “Dan, you will own the baseline and all changes to it. All things center around your program, and the standards and processes you implement will drive much of what we do across the GFEBS portfolio.”

GFEBS DEV MOD will allow for an agile approach in developing and deploying new capabilities and fixes to the system by consolidating sustainment, modernization, and new development in one product team and reducing redundancy, while simultaneously increasing the pace of product improvements.

Russell stressed the importance of this position: “Establishment of a Board Select program is the Army’s recognition of the importance of this position and of the mission. It is recognition that we want a certain quality of leader to run this product.”

“GFEBS must continue to improve the efficiency of the Army and Department of Defense so that operational folks can be more effective,” said Kitts, in his acceptance remarks. “The result must be timelier and better data-driven decisions for resource allocation.” Kitts said that he looks forward to the challenge and the work ahead.
