There is nothing idealistic about it. We use them like that, all the time. It works. It isn't hard. You just instruct your managers that this is how you are going to use it, and you are judged in reviews how well you manage people and projects. If you screw it up enough, you are fired.
You treat documentation and conversation like anything else in the company - not some esoteric thing that gets in the way / assists work. The documentation itself should be subject to performance review, and in our company, it is.
We get what we incentivize. Unsurprisingly, we have good documentation and good communication throughout.
