Yes you don't need to give back, it's just there as many perform this activity.

Sadly, that is the case. I've always felt that one opportunity for evolution of the profession was to mandate a small proportion of PDUs to be giving back...

Kiron, why sadly? the majority thinks gladly---- You don't want to jeopardize and penalize someone who can not do it.
It is good it is there optional like Sante mentioned for those who can perform this activity

We have all benefited in our PM career from the volunteer efforts of others - a very simple example is the PMBOK Guide. Our most precious asset is our time, so volunteering in some form - mentoring a junior PM, creating original content or delivering a presentation is one way to pay it back.

Yes, we can.

If you observe the PDU requirements on the Dashboard, it clearly specifies that - '35 PDU's minimum from Education; 25 maximum from Giving Back'.

One can claim upto 8 PDU's maximum for 'Working as Practitioner', which means the way we implement in our day to day project life.
