The exact change

Before

"The most important change in the PMP exam is the emphasis on leadership over process mechanics. PMI is testing whether you can navigate human complexity, not whether you can recite knowledge area definitions." -- Andy Crowe, PMP, author of The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try / "Candidates who prepare for a purely predictive exam will fail. Candidates who prepare for a purely agile exam will also fail. The PMP now rewards fluency in both, and the ability to choose the right approach for the situation." -- Joseph Phillips, PMP, PMI-ACP, author of IT Project Management: On Track From Start to Finish

After

The most important change in the PMP exam is the emphasis on leadership over process mechanics. PMI is testing whether candidates can navigate human complexity, not whether they can recite knowledge area definitions. / Candidates who prepare for a purely predictive exam will fail. Candidates who prepare for a purely agile exam will also fail. The PMP now rewards fluency in both, and the ability to choose the right approach for the situation.

Suggested change

De-attributed both quotes to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claims; retained the legitimate Crowe and Phillips book references since they are real independently-published works not directly cited as the quote source.

Why this is better

Both quotes were attributed to real PMP authors (Andy Crowe, Joseph Phillips) with no verifiable source. De-attributed both to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claims; retained the legitimate Crowe and Phillips book references in the reference list since they are real independently-published works not directly cited as the quote source.
