尽管 (jǐnguǎn) means "although", and is a little stronger than 虽然, perhaps more like "even though". It is often used in following structure:
尽管....，还是/仍然....
For example:
- 尽管领导 今天 不 来，可 我们 还是 不 能 懈怠。
- 体育馆 正在 着火, 尽管 很 危险，消防员 却 还是 奋不顾身 地 冲了 进去。
- 尽管 失败 了 好几次，可 他 仍然 想 创业。
可 or 却 can be added before 还是 or 仍然 to further emphasize the shift in meaning in the second phrase.
