this

--feedback--

This demonstrative determiner refers to the specific project they are already working on.

--explanation--

A couple more means two or three additional people - it's an informal way to talk about a small increase. For example:

I downloaded a couple more plugins for the website. - You added two or a few additional tools to improve the website.

This project uses this because Bob is referring to the current, specific project they are already discussing.
